SCONE - How to teach sustainable development in practice - workshops for teachers in Rostock

From February 24 to 26, teachers from Denmark, Germany, Lithuania, and Poland are participating in workshops on implementing education for sustainable development in everyday school life. The event is taking place in Rostock, and the University of Rostock is responsible for the content.

We started the first day of the event by working on the European Sustainability Competence Framework, analyzing which competencies are key in education for sustainable development. We then focused on the values behind ESD and their practical dimension in everyday school life.

An important part of the program was a session on the psychology of climate anxiety and a discussion on how to work with students' fears and uncertainties in the context of the climate crisis. There was also time for a workshop to exchange experiences and work out solutions together.

It was an intense and substantive day that set the direction for our further work.
