Education for sustainable development as a path to social transformation? A critical and practical examination of ESD in adult education

Free workshop on 6.11.2024 between 9.30 am and 4 pm at riesa efau, Wachsbleichstraße 4a, 01067 Dresden, Dachsaal for stakeholders in development education work and teachers and all interested parties

Does ESD deliver what we need to transform society? Does ESD want more than it can do?

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) plays an important role in the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) and should be anchored at all levels of education. In Saxon adult education, however, there are hardly any offers in both non-formal education and formal education that critically train stakeholders and teachers in the field of ESD/global learning and bring together educational stakeholders from different areas (stakeholders from universities and civil society).

We would like to start closing this gap and offer a first training program on ESD, which also focuses on global perspectives in a targeted manner, for adult education stakeholders (university teachers and stakeholders in development education) in Saxony. In this workshop, stakeholders from the Global South will have their say and university lecturers will talk to stakeholders in development education.

The offer was jointly conceived and organized by the Green Office of TU Dresden and the Saxon Development Education Days (SEBIT), supported by the Chair of Geographic Education at TU Dresden and arche noVa e.V.
