Course details
General information about the course
The course is aimed in particular at teachers, school leaders and school communities from European Union countries to establish good ESD practice in their everyday school life with focus on all-day school or whole school approach.
The course has a modular structure and can be completed in full or only selectively, depending on prior knowledge, status in the school development process and interests. It is also possible to work in internal school teams.
The content covers an introduction to ESD and the models used in the course as well as in-depth study at three levels.
Module 1 introduces the entire course, theories and models are presented.
Modules 2, 3 and 4 focus on school development processes in the implementation of ESD.
Modules 5, 6 and 7 focus on teachers and the implementation of ESD in the classroom.
Modules 8, 9 and 10 focus on learning processes and the significance of ESD for learners.
Module 11 summarises the contents and encourages further school development processes.
All modules offer an insight into good ESD practice with examples from the participating project schools in Austria, Norway, Portugal and Germany.
A theory-based input enables the classification of these practical examples and initiates reflection on one's own ESD practice.
