Cooperation with the SDG+ Lab of the University of Kassel Transfer

Sustainability needs the right stories: In writing workshops, students support Kassel citizens in formulating their perspectives on sustainability.

Sustainable development is not only a question of technology, but also of communication. The narratives surrounding sustainability in particular are often destructive for the projects concerned, e.g. when something is presented as too expensive, unfeasible or unnecessary. Yet sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in everyone's lives. In the winter semester, the Department of German as a Second Language is cooperating with the SDG+ Lab at the University of Kassel and the Kassel Adult Education Center to set up writing workshops to describe sustainability issues in and around Kassel. Writing consultancy students support the VHS and other institutions in setting up writing workshops and workshops to help Kassel citizens write about sustainability in their neighborhoods (keyword "Describe your place of happiness").
