Training: Participatory Approaches in Development Goals

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED

This 3-week online course focuses on using participatory methods as essential transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral tools for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). During the online sessions, participants will reflect on the local socio-environmental challenges in their home countries, the potential consequences beyond the local, and how global issues can be addressed through local actions. In addition, climate change and biodiversity loss are used as entry points to provide participants with new technical knowledge while building soft skills related to cross-cultural communication, mediation, civic engagement and partnerships.

Target audience

The workshop targets primarily students who want to develop their skills in participatory approaches and sustainable development. Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree in an appropriate subject and/or professional experience. English proficiency is required.

Who can apply?

  • Students of development programmes in Germany.
  • Relevant applicants from the Global South.

By the end of this seminar, participants are expected to:
