Summer School of Project LiMa
"Teaching for Sustainable Development"
In August of 2023, the Center for Teacher Education of Philipps University Marburg held its first international Summer School on the topic “Teaching for Sustainable Development”, organised by Project LiMa (Lehramt international in Marburg). Together with our partner universities and many enthusiastic participants, we examined the world of teaching for sustainable development. The Summer School brought together approximately 70 participants and organizers, including teachers, students, researchers and lecturers, non-formal education actors, and a representative from the Hessian Ministry of Education. We welcomed guests from our partner universities (University of Kragujevac, Adam Mickiewicz University Poznan, University of Lisbon, University of Limoges) as well as students, researchers and staff from the Universities of Marburg, Gießen and Wuppertal.
The program included an introduction to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), multiple keynotes on concepts for ESD, an information fair including NGOs and civil-society organisations, engaging workshops offered by colleagues from our partner countries and Germany, panel discussions, and field trips to extracurricular places of learning for sustainable development.

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports projects within the framework of the "Lehramt.International" program, aimed at increasing the international mobility of teacher education students and structurally anchoring it at the participating universities. At the University of Marburg, the project "LiMa 2.0 – Lehramt international in Marburg" is funded in its second funding phase from 2025 to 2029.
