Sustainability Study Days – Indigeneity in Global Contexts: Panel Discussion

An evening organized by the students together with the guests to engage in a shared discussion on the topics of the summer school. What have we learned from one another? What has moved us over the past few days? A gallery walk featuring the students’ posters rounds out the event.

Featuring, among others, representatives from: the Right Livelihood Laureate, Survival International, and representatives of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nation, as well as the Maasai and Maya communities.

 

Sustainability Study Days – Indigeneity in Global Contexts

What’s it about?
Together with students in teacher education, students of sustainability studies will explore international perspectives on indigeneity through engaging, interactive contributions from academia, NGOs, and indigenous communities. This interdisciplinary exchange is particularly enriching and facilitates mutual learning.

Organizational Details & Structure
No prior knowledge is required; key concepts and methods will be developed collaboratively during the seminar.

Note on Course Format:
This course focuses on international exchange.
International students are warmly welcome; their diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives enrich our collaborative work. Many materials are in English; discussions often take place in English. Language support (explanations of terms, reading aids) is part of the seminar—making it a great opportunity to further develop your language skills without the pressure to perform—especially for less experienced speakers.
