The webinar focused on “Creative teaching for sustainable development: practical activities and projects such as simulations, role-playing, and field-based learning that actively engage students.”

The lecture was delivered by Dorrit Hansen, an experienced teacher educator, who presented practical methods for engaging students through active learning approaches and discussed the importance of creating conditions that support a state of “flow” in education.

Participants were introduced to examples of creative teaching methods supporting education for sustainable development, fostering a sense of agency, engagement, and hope for the future.

We thank all participants for their active involvement and inspiring exchange of experiences.
