Sustainability in Schools and Universities
Educational institutions become sustainable places of learning and experience if they take innovative measures to consciously use natural resources in their concrete, everyday operations in classrooms, cafeterias or sports halls. Transformation succeeds when “education for sustainable development” is thought of holistically and implemented broadly. Established at management level, anchored in teaching and practiced through the active participation of students, sustainability is a school in the best sense.
“Green” learning spaces promote environmental and climate protection. They stimulate the transfer of knowledge. The learners take knowledge home with them and initiate changes in their environment. Whether vegetable gardens in daycare, student companies with fairly traded products or university partnerships with countries in the global south – sustainability takes many forms. Good working conditions, motivated and qualified teachers and good supervision ratios are guarantees of successful, sustainable educational work.
The industry includes, for example, kindergartens and preschools, secondary schools, universities and technical colleges as well as other universities.
