Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

Guidelines: Integrating Sustainable Development into higher education

The guidelines with four in-depth units for the University of Bern provide important support for lecturers in integrating SD into their own university teaching. The documents were developed in a participatory process, reflecting both the content-related and didactic-methodical experiences of many lecturers. The authors of the guide have developed a procedure and compiled instruments that have been tested and constantly improved in several workshops and consultations.
