Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

Sustainability is firmly anchored in Aachen and is becoming increasingly important - on a large and small scale. Together, the city is shaping a future worth living for everyone.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an educational concept that empowers people to help shape the world in an active, responsible and sustainable way. It not only imparts knowledge, but also the skills and values needed to understand global challenges such as climate change, social inequality and resource consumption - and to develop local solutions. Ecological, social, cultural and economic aspects are considered holistically.

We focus on joint opportunities for action: "Think globally - act locally!" Educational institutions play a key role here: they make sustainability tangible, encourage people to get involved and open up new perspectives.

We from the ESD team in Aachen...

  • organize training courses and excursions for educational staff and other multipliers,
  • accompany schools with the ACtive for Future program on their way to greater sustainability,
  • create insect and small animal-friendly habitats with the FLIP meadow project,
  • are committed to fair trade in Aachen as part of the Fairtrade steering group,
  • provide a wide range of educational materials such as theme boxes and learning cases,
  • are present at action days, network meetings and information events.

Do you have any questions, suggestions or ideas for cooperation? We look forward to hearing from you!
