Teaching-learning locations
Since the summer semester 2022, the BildungsAcker in the Botanical Garden of TU Dresden has been a learning location for practical education as sustainable development (ESD). The project seminar is currently aimed at students of the general (mainly geography) and vocational teaching profession (mainly vocational department of nutrition and home economics) and is offered in the supplementary area (EGS) as an in-depth option for subject didactics.

In terms of a research-based, action-oriented approach, the project seminar aims to combine students' own experiences in the cultivation of arable land with theoretically based, reflective practices and to transfer the knowledge gained about the educational field as a place of learning into their own approaches and concepts for the integration of ESD in school and other educationally relevant professional contexts. By participating in the seminar, students are sensitized to the possibilities that arise from the cultivation of arable land for integration into educational contexts of ESD. The learning process is accompanied by various thematic focus seminars that flank the activities on the field.
