The course introduces you to the environment from the perspectives of education. The main goals are to understand how people&amp;#39;s relationships with the environment are formed, how they can be influenced by pedagogical means and how people&amp;#39;s agency can be changed towards a more sustainable direction through an eco-social approach. Teaching is guided by the perception of the urgency of environmental problems, which requires a holistic, interdisciplinary, and dynamic approach to education and lifelong learning related to the environment. Key topics to be discussed are the dynamics of the construction of human-environmental relationships, the prevailing Western thinking based on the nature-culture dichotomy and human-centeredness and its criticism, the principles of the UN&amp;#39;s sustainability goals, especially with regard to education, shared environmental citizenship, the multiple meanings of the environment from the perspectives of different disciplines, and environmental education as a perspective on current cross-border phenomena (e.g. climate change, loss of nature, international migration, energy policy, transnational conflicts).
