This Active Learning Event fosters international networking and sharing of experiences between educators, and the design and testing of innovative teaching concepts. A three-day workshop hosted by TU Dresden provides for further interaction, engagement and reflection, with a focus on practical learning and teaching activities. 

The first introductory webinar focuses on Sustainable Futures Education (SFE), in relation to participants’ own understandings and international discourses. The second webinar is held in Working Groups, and enables participants to gain a deeper understanding of one aspect of SFE in theory and in practice. During the three-day face-to-face event, participants share practical activities developed for their teaching contexts, reflections and learning. A final webinar provides further opportunity for sharing of practical activities, reflections and learning. 

This is a multilingual course. English is the main language of international communication for webinars and face-to-face face workshops. There will be opportunities for participants to use their main languages during group work, and access language support such as subtitles, translation and translanguaging.
