General Course Information
#sustainablemindset #sysmindproject # discoveringasustainablemindset
This course is open to all interested parties but especially aims at teachers and trainers in vocational education and training. It wants to support them in constructively guiding their learners in discovering a more sustainable mindset.
Factual knowledge alone very rarely leads to (a change in) actions. Values and personal relation to the respective topic play a decisive role - and spiritual, religious, and cultural aspects are also drivers of individual behaviour. All of this must be considered to support the development of a more sustainable mindset.
Content
Course Content
In the following five units, we will show you how complex and multi-layered the development of a sustainable mindset is:
Lesson 1: Introduction to the Topic of Sustainable Development
Lesson 2: The Four Elements - Connectors between Science, Culture and Spirituality
Lesson 3: Spirituality and Sustainability
Lesson 4: Attitudes and Values - Modules of the Mindset
Lesson 5: Assessment, Evaluation and Best Practice Examples
Course Goals
After completing this course, graduates will be able to
- reflect on their own cultural, religious and spiritual background and consider this as a prerequisite for their work with heterogeneous student groups;
- support learners to reflect on their own thinking in relation to sustainability from their individual cultural, religious and spiritual perspective and background;
- develop knowledge, skills and competences on intercultural, interreligious and spiritual approaches to sustainability issues;
- use teaching methods and techniques that take into account cultural, spiritual and religious diversity and promote sustainable development.
