Join us for a fresh and critical view on sustainability in a highly interdisciplinary and interactive course with participants from all over the world - for free. The Critical Sustainability course provides a digital space to learn, reflect, discuss and take action together - across many human-made borders. The participants come together with others to share and question different knowledges, expertises and perspectives. Together they jointly analyze existing power relations as well as society-nature relations and democratize them. The participants broaden their understanding of sustainability through various interactive, artistic and group-dynamic formats. They engage in individual work as well as group work to reflect and analyze the reciprocal relations between technology, individuals, nature, society and democracy. Furthermore, the participants explore how they may contribute to a socio-ecological transformation of society by intervening individually and collectively into society. TU Berlin cordially invites students of all study programs from all universities. Non-Students are also warmly welcomed. Together they will explore societal problems across any borders between humans and mutually work on them.
