After familiarising themselves with the original concept of sustainability in the first double lesson and using the cards in the second double lesson to learn about important events or people who have influenced this development in different periods of history, in the third double lesson they learn about the current goals of global sustainable development, which relate to improving the living conditions of current and future generations, as well as the biosphere and the ecosphere. Using the pictograms of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), they first discuss in the group which goals are particularly important in industrialised countries, emerging economies and developing countries. Each person takes on the task of researching one goal. In this context, it is important that the students endeavour to make connections to their everyday lives when choosing their research topic. The results are then presented. The group then discusses in plenary which goals they consider to have priority and how they can contribute to achieving them.
