Excellent teaching on sustainability

The Network of Excellence for University Teaching is co-funded by the BMBF and the Volkswagen Foundation, among others. This year's thematic focus is "Teaching and learning sustainability and social transformation". Eighteen teachers with seven inter- and transdisciplinary teaching projects carried out at German universities were selected.
The Witzenhausen teaching project was convincing because of its engagement with the alternative economic concept of the common good economy and the close cooperation between the university, civil society and business enterprises in the region. Other well-known projects were selected, such as the Leuphana Semester for all first-semester students at the University of Lüneburg and the transformation project for an urban food system at Münster University of Applied Sciences. Participation in the year-long program serves to promote the exchange of experiences between participants and the further development of their own teaching projects.
