Goals

The certificate program el mundo is an additional course of study offered to all students who will teach any subject in any type of school. El mundo prepares for the challenges of a globalized world and raises awareness for aspects of sustainability in teaching and operating schools. In doing so, it reacts to various requests from science, politics and society, which regard the establishment of education for sustainable development as a cross-sectional task.

el mundo promotes:

  • stronger perception and sensibility for the relationship between nature, humans, and their environment through processes of self-reflection
  • willingness to shape the direct surroundings (with the school environment as a starting point) based on the concept of education for sustainable development (ESD)
  • a willingness to actively confront socio-ecological challenges in a globalized world by complex and systematic thinking
  • openness for cultural diversity and the development of a global citizenship
  • awareness for the special meaning of discourse mechanisms and critical thinking when negotiating value-driven decisions
