Overview
The overall goal of the Sustainable Development Academy offered by Sustainable Development Academy is to enable participants to adopt creative approaches to achieving sustainability goals in their communities.
Content
At the start of the summer school participants will be introduced to the topic of the SDGs. They will learn about the scope and interdependent nature of the 17 sustainability goals. A central question will be the status quo of the implementation process of the Agenda for Sustainable Development, nationally and internationally.
Afterwards participants will explore SDG 12 and 15 in greater depth and will get insights with regard to handling and implementation of the topics under focus.
Potsdam, a city of science close to Berlin, is home to leading research institutions and initiatives in the fields of climate research and sustainability. Accompanying field trips and site visits allow participants to meet local practitioners, scientists and experts within their field of action and facilitate discussions and dialogues with those actors.
During the entire program, participants work independently in groups on a real-life challenge. Various workshop formats and guidance from experts support the approach to this task.
