Teaching TdLabs Teaching Activities
Inter- and transdisciplinary, research-oriented teaching on climate change and sustainability.
The TdLab Geography team incorporates transdisciplinary approaches into its teaching in order to prepare students to address global challenges. The team offers seminars, internships and excursions based on the latest research findings. These activities promote education for sustainable development (ESD), empowering students to make responsible decisions in a global context. Nicole Aeschbach is also developing an additional/cross-qualification in sustainability for teacher training students at Heidelberg University and Heidelberg University of Education, delivered by the Heidelberg School of Education (HSE).
Further information on the additional/cross-qualification in sustainability at the HSE, as well as details of theses at the TdLab Geography, can be found at the bottom of the page (german).
