Sustainable Study Days: Indigeneity in Global Contexts / Learning for Change: Rethinking Teacher Education through Indigenous Perspectives

Students of Sustainability Studies, Teacher Education Students as well as participants from other disciplines will engage with international perspectives on Indigeneity, drawing on interactive inputs from academia, NGOs, and Indigenous communities. The interdisciplinary exchange enriches the learning experience. In the second week, teacher education students will apply these perspectives to school and educational contexts.

No prior knowledge is required; key concepts and methods will be introduced and developed throughout the seminar.

This seminar places a strong emphasis on international dialogue and exchange. International students are warmly welcome, and their diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives are considered an important part of the learning process.

Many course materials are in English, and discussions will often take place in English. Language support (e.g. clarification of key terms and guided reading strategies) is provided throughout. The seminar offers a supportive environment to develop language skills at an individual pace; less confident speakers are explicitly encouraged to participate.

During the first week of the Summer School, students will engage with international perspectives on Indigeneity together with students from the Sustainability Studies programme, drawing on interactive inputs from academia, Indigenous communities and an NGO.
