Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
The systematic integration of education for sustainable development at the university is an extremely complex challenge that can only be addressed through a plural and multi-perspective approach. Within the framework of the UNESCO World Programme of Action "Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung“ (BNE; =Education for Sustainable Development), the interdisciplinary lecture series Umwelt - TUM takes place at the TUM Campus Garching, which deals with changing topics in the field of environmental sustainability.
It is organized by the newly founded branch of the environmental department AStA TUM at the Garching campus to promote sustainability awareness at TUM and to offer interested students the opportunity to deal with the topic in more detail.
