Short description: This seminar outlines the principles of education for sustainable development by discussing various competences for constructively solving current and future problems. On the other hand, the topics that will be of great concern to us in the future will be outlined. Both strands are united in the question of how education should be organised today so that we as a global community can lead a ‘good life’ (as defined by UNESCO) tomorrow.
