The course content will be related to the participants own backgrounds, specific interests and prior experiences.Master students with different study backgrounds (e.g. environmental sciences, social sciences, educational sciences, economics, arts and humanities) can enroll in this course as long as you have an interest in both sustainable development and education.The course is an introduction to and a base for other courses within the Master's Programme in Education for Sustainable Development.
