Subject: Critical Sustainability - free, open, digital 6 ECTS Course of 
TU Berlin - Starting 05 September
     	

     You like sustainability, but hate that it is all mainstream and 
watered down? 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.
