Kursinhalte

In this four-hour online course, we initially delve into the relevance of future orientation and anticipatory thinking. We provide an overview of diverse vision-oriented methods within education for sustainable development (ESD). The course specifically examines the application of the Future Workshop, a methodology designed to constructively and creatively envision future solutions to current challenges, as a means to enhance ESD in higher education teaching.
The workshop offers a balanced blend of theoretical insights and hands-on implementation of the methodology.

Topics covered:
- Overview of vision-oriented and forward-thinking methodologies within ESD
- Introduction to the Future Workshop method and its three stages: critical analysis phase (determination of the current problem), visionary phase (generating solutions to the problem), and implementation phase
- Practical application of the Future Workshop method
- Discussion of the possible applications of the Future Workshop method in Higher Education teaching
