Education for sustainability and youth engagement

A current seminar on the subject of "economy and sustainable development" dealt with the topic "Sustainability and I" as part of a poetry slam. The participants submitted texts that made various perspectives on the subject of sustainability. For example, Lisa addressed responsibility for the planet, while Josephin pointed to child labor in the fashion industry. The critical examination of personal consumer behavior was also addressed by several lecturers, such as by Tabea, who described the change to electromobility as future -proof.

The results of the Poetry Slam clearly show how important the topic of sustainability is for young people and reflect the potential of creative forms of expression to clarify and discuss environmental issues. Many participants called for joint action and demanded more awareness of sustainable decisions in everyday life.

The Environmental Federal Agency emphasizes that young people in particular should be actively involved in educational projects for sustainability. This active participation is crucial for a successful transformation of society towards more sustainability. It is important that children and adolescents are integrated into the planning and methodology of environmental education offers in order to increase the effectiveness and success of such initiatives.

Overall, the lectures and projects of the University of Saarland as well as the results of the Poetry Slam reflect the increasing awareness and urgency that sustainable development is a central topic in all areas of life.
