International Summer School: Education for sustainable development (ESD / BNE)
Insights into holistic school development for a transformative learning culture. International Summer School from 19-23 AUGUST 2024.
The summer school enables a practical immersion in ESD as a holistic approach in and beyond schools. The ESD landscape around the state capital Hanover will be explored: Encounters with innovative schools, familiarisation with different learning locations and formats, meetings with political stakeholders and civil society activists. Accompanying scientific lectures and workshops will familiarise students with various facets of ESD in socio-economically and culturally diverse contexts thanks to international participation. Our school systems will be critically discussed in dialogue with fellow students and academics from different countries. In addition, the question of what it means to be a teacher in a changing school environment in times of multiple crises - and what this requires of teacher training - will be explored.
Please note: No further events are currently planned.
SOLAR Winter School
The transition of energy supply to renewable energies represents one of the great societal challenges of our time. The significant interest in solar energy as an alternative can be seen not least in the demand for solar consultations from experienced energy consultants, which has increased significantly. To be able to meet this demand quickly, the SOLAR Summer + Winter Schools are building competencies to support solar consultation in the city and region of Hanover. The pilot project is then to be further developed and opened to additional target groups. Students of Leibniz University Hannover and Hannover University of Applied Sciences and Arts will be given the opportunity to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge, enabling them to conduct initial consultations on the use of solar power systems for homeowners, companies, and other building owners after completing the course.
Please note: The next event is expected to take place in October/November 2026

„Think Sustainably!“
The Central Institution for Quality Development in Studies and Teaching (ZQS), in collaboration with the Green Office, organized the Summer School "Think Sustainably!" from September 20th to 24th, 2021, on the topic of sustainability at LUH. Students had the opportunity to develop their own project ideas for creating a sustainable campus over the course of a week, focusing particularly on topics such as sustainable mobility, waste management, and communication of sustainable solutions. Among other things, the sustainability-playing game "Pitch Your Green Idea!" was used. In addition, experts provided further input on the topic of sustainability.
The project proposals developed as part of the "Think Sustainably!" Summer School will be implemented starting from the winter semester with the involvement of the Green Office. This includes, among other initiatives, the trash can campaign.
