Global systems neither change automatically nor can they be changed at any time.
Terms such as crisis (turning point) or transition are therefore inherently imprecise.
The world systems analyst Immanuel Wallerstein (1930-2019) proposed a conceptual alternative:
"I suggest to you that the intermeshed concepts of 'crisis' and 'transition' - two of the commonest
words in our social scientific vocabulary - are nothing but avatars of Kairós" (Wallerstein 1991/2001: 146).
Kairós, the ancient Greek god of good opportunities, has a long tradition in European culture.
Here he stands for historical points in time when a (global) system is objectively in crisis and a
transition could be achieved - if people seize the opportunity (Kairós).
How is this interplay of objective and subjective factors to be thought of in practical terms?
This will be presented and discussed on this evening.
The speaker will be Dr Alexander Neupert-Doppler. He is a philosopher and political scientist and currently works at the Institute
for transformative sustainability research in Potsdam. Following books on the adversities of 'state fetishism' (2013)
and the possibilities of 'utopia' (2015), 'Die Gelegenheit ergreifen - Eine Politische Philosophie des Kairós' was published in 2019.
The lecture will take place via Zoom.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an overarching educational goal in the CurriculumPLUS. Sustainability is anchored in the subjects of biology, geography, politics and economics as well as ethics and many other disciplines. In this exercise, we focus on the topic of "Plants and the goals of sustainable development".
The exercise combines the theoretical background of ESD with practical examples of target group-orientated teaching methods. Topics such as food security, climate protection, biodiversity and consumption can be taught in a practical way when working with school classes. Focal points are jointly designed in the development phase. Together we develop an educational programme that we carry out for invited pupils in the botanical garden.
The exercise takes place as part of the LLG module Methods for Nature and Environmental Education. You will get to know a wide range of teaching methods and analyse which teaching methods are suitable for which target group and which subject matter. Selected methods are put into practice with school classes. The realisation will be reflected on together. You will be able to apply the knowledge gained directly to the next implementation.
This course will take place in the winter semester 2020/2021. The organisation of the event will be adapted to the current JMU guidelines for (digital) teaching. Participating students will be informed about possible changes in good time.

The concept of education in "Education for Sustainable Development"
Calls for "education for sustainable development" (ESD) to encompass all areas of education are currently becoming ever louder. SDGs, design competence, future workshop: although (or precisely because) ESD is often presented as a consensus in terms of objectives, content and methods, it is worth questioning.
The position of the concept of education in the Bne concept is particularly controversial among educators. For example, it is criticised for instrumentalising and overestimating the possibilities of education.
The seminar will therefore address the question of which education for sustainable development does justice to a sustainable, good life. Last but not least, the objectives of the ESD concept and the underlying relationship between humans and nature will also be discussed.
We take an interdisciplinary approach with perspectives from ecology, psychology, sociology, education, communication, ethics and sustainable development. With simulation games and excursions (subject to change), we will also repeatedly embark on practical explorations.
This seminar takes place online via the video conferencing tool Zoom and is supported by the WueCampus platform.

Excursions play an important role in various school subjects. The Botanical Garden is an ideal extracurricular learning location for the topic of "Vegetation and climate zones", among others. Here, pupils can understand the climate in the tropics, for example, practically and with all their senses. In addition, the adaptation of plants to their habitat can be explored and the characteristic plant communities of the vegetation zones can be taught. The threat to ecosystems and sustainable utilisation can also be addressed in the botanical garden. With a view from a geographical, biological and political perspective, the entire range of topics can be communicated in an interdisciplinary way. But what needs to be considered when teaching interdisciplinary subjects at an extracurricular learning location? These questions will be worked out practically in the exercise and taken into account when designing a curriculum-oriented educational programme. We will carry out this educational programme together for invited pupils in the botanical garden.
The exercise will take place as part of the LLG module Practical Experience. Accordingly, you will have the opportunity to work with 2 school classes. The realisation will be reflected on together. You will be able to apply the knowledge gained directly to the next implementation.
This course will take place in the winter semester 2020/2021. The organisation of the event will be adapted to the current JMU guidelines for (digital) teaching. Participating students will be informed about possible changes in good time.

Earthly life comes from water and consists largely of water - life on earth is inconceivable without water. This makes it all the more astonishing that many people in the Global North have until recently treated water as a matter of course without further reflection. With the current changes caused by climate change, water is increasingly coming into focus as an elixir of life and as a central contact zone for humans and other living beings.
The seminar takes up this new interest in the sciences and societies in the fluid element and asks how water is managed. In the sense of extended Blue Humanities, we will thematise water in the form of ponds, lakes, seas, rivers. streams, groundwater, etc. as contact zones and/or elements of life organisation for many species. Of particular interest is how water is the basis for the joint economic activity of humans, but also other living beings in agriculture, tourism, the energy industry and other fields of human resource management.
The seminar takes place weekly from 12-14 hrs.

The issue of sustainability has been an integral part of public discourse since the Rio Conference in 1992 at the latest and is once again gaining new relevance due to climate change. The seminar will examine how ideas of sustainable behaviour are implemented in practice by a wide range of actors, what goals they pursue and how sustainable behaviour determines their everyday lives and living environment.

The Eco-Social University Days
How can we make our university and our society future-proof and sustainable? What concepts already exist? What can each individual do? The Eco-Social University Days are intended to provide a platform for such groundbreaking questions. At the first Eco-Social University Days in a long time, we want to focus on sustainability. Sustainable thinking is characterised by taking a broader view and considering the long term. In our opinion, a crisis is the perfect time to think about how we want to live in the coming decades, which dangers need to be averted and which structures should be reorganised. With the motto "Reshaping together now", we want to focus on what is feasible and on cooperation. As a place of change, innovation and education, universities are the central key to a development towards greater global responsibility. The ÖSHT will take place as part of the Sustainable University Days Bavaria. In addition, some events can be recognised for the GSiK certificate in sustainability and global responsibility. Join us, we look forward to seeing you!
The entire programme of the Ecosocial University Days will take place from 16.11.-28.11.20.

with Evander Hammer
In this interactive lecture, we will try to answer the question "How can I make my technology and energy more sustainable?" together. First of all, various sustainable options will be analysed and compared using the technology and energy cycle (approx. 30 minutes). A few keywords are shiftphones, the life cycle of batteries or sustainable energy providers. Afterwards, there will be a plenary discussion in which everyone can share their own experiences, thoughts or buying tips (approx. 15 minutes). We look forward to seeing you!

Workshop "Tomorrow, tomorrow, just not today "
Interactive workshop with ;">registration
Psychologist4Future
"I'm going vegan from tomorrow!" "Soon I'll switch to green electricity." "From next year, I won't fly any more!" "From next week, I'll only buy unpackaged food." If you have plans like these and have always wanted to know how you can achieve them, then come and visit us! We cordially invite you to our varied workshop on the topic of climate-friendly everyday life. People underestimate climate change. Even though the scientific facts are clear. We want to consider together with you why it is quite normal that it doesn't always work, how we can best deal with it when it doesn't work, and what it takes to make it work. We will also look at psychological mechanisms as well as social action and the possible acceptance of this, but above all we want to reflect on your own behaviour with you.

The Eco-Social University Days
How can we make our university and our society future-proof and sustainable? What concepts already exist? What can each individual do? The Eco-Social University Days are intended to provide a platform for such groundbreaking questions. At the first Eco-Social University Days in a long time, we want to focus on sustainability. Sustainable thinking is characterised by taking a broader view and considering the long term. In our opinion, a crisis is the perfect time to think about how we want to live in the coming decades, which dangers need to be averted and which structures should be reorganised. With the motto "Reshaping together now", we want to focus on what is feasible and on cooperation. As a place of change, innovation and education, universities are the central key to a development towards greater global responsibility. The ÖSHT will take place as part of the Sustainable University Days Bavaria. In addition, all events can be recognised for the GSiK certificate in sustainability and global responsibility. Join us, we look forward to seeing you!
The entire programme of the Eco-Social University Days will take place from 16.11.-28.11.20.

Lecture "Urban wilderness" - nature in the city
interactive lecture with Pascal Bunk
The term "urban wilderness" is an oxymoron, a contradiction in terms that only becomes clear at second glance. This 90-minute lecture is designed to give you this second look. You will get an introduction to terms such as wilderness, nature and ecosystems, find out why cities are becoming increasingly important for nature conservation and learn how we can easily develop our cities into biodiversity hotspots using the example of the CampusGarten.
The lecture will take place online in the permanent Zoom room of the ÖSHT.

GSiK Day 2020: GLOBAL FAIRPLAY!?
Virtual student conference on 28 November 2020 on sustainability with a focus on global justice
In the global interplay of powers, the topic of "sustainability" is increasingly coming to the fore and could bring about a decisive change in the way people think and act. After all, global warming and its ecological consequences for all people are making the complexity and interdependencies visible worldwide. Political decisions and the lifestyle of each individual have a global impact that affects us all. How do we want to live together in the future? Thinking sustainably means thinking globally. Global fair play means not only finding and following common rules, but also recognising our fellow players as partners. It is about adopting an attitude that demonstrates respect and aims to respect and protect the physical and psychological integrity of all in fair play. What long-term strategies are we pursuing in order to shape fair play in this sense, not only locally but also globally? The effects will affect us all.
All information about the GSiK Day can be found on the website, including a detailed programme.
Registration is possible via WueStudy. External interested parties can register by e-mail.

Planetary Health is a scientific discipline, a philosophy for living and a social movement.
Recognising the planetary health emergency radically changes the perspective on how we live, act and think. This implies critically reviewing existing ethical and philosophical concepts while we engage in transformative action at the same time. How do we understand our relationship to the natural agents and dynamics that we are part of? How do we work together in the face of the evolving emergency? How do we deal with the enormous injustice becoming apparent?

Planetary Health is a scientific discipline, a philosophy for living and a social movement. Cities can be drivers of enormous power for the required transformative changes. Therefore , innovative urban development presents major opportunities to improve population health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for health risks exacerbated by climate change. Unlocking their transformative power, cities are key settings for the implementation of a diverse set of interventions to address major planetary health challenges. Lecturers will highlight key facets of transdisciplinary and transformative urban development for a healthy and good life in cities. They will present the situation and stories of two cities, one in the south, one in the north.

When Angela Merkel stated that the internet was still uncharted territory for all of us after the revelations by former NSA employee Edward Snowden in June 2013, she was met with derisive mockery from the internet community. Numerous memes quickly went viral online, showing the Chancellor with an obsolete slide rule in her hand or in a Photoshop version of a painting of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus with the caption "Merkel discovers #newland".
For many, the internet seems to have become a natural part of our everyday lives. At the same time, it still presents us with new questions and challenges and oscillates between ambivalent positions: The internet as a democratising space for participation or a battleground for far-reaching users? A place of freedom or an instrument of surveillance? An equalising multiplier of knowledge or a medium of stultification? A creative space for new, cultural practices or a place for innocent copyright infringements? Does the Internet as a global system bring the world closer together or does it contribute to its division?
In the seminar, we will look at the emergence and development of the Internet, analyse aspects of the Internet as a social and cultural space and discuss its effects and significance together. Because as the internet activist Aaron Swartz once said: "It's not OK to not understand the internet any more." Let's tackle it.

Globalisation, refugees, exploitative child labour, sustainability, ... - many current issues are forcing their way into schools. Thinking in global systemic contexts, intercultural sensitivity, the ability to work in teams - new skills are required of school leavers. Our involvement in complex global processes is omnipresent.
Global learning is a pedagogical concept that trains the skills of pupils and young people to orientate themselves in the global society and to live responsibly. The workshop provides insights into the working methods and materials of global learning. With practical, experience-based exercises and games, we look at our relationship to the Global South, track down the images in our heads and experience surprises when changing perspectives. Aha-experiences and interesting learning experiences guaranteed.

Environmental protection is not left-wing per se, but has brown roots and continuities. Pioneers were the life reformers and homeland conservationists in the German Empire. Later, they planted native plants on the verges of Hitler's motorways, drew up landscape plans for the Germanisation of living space in the East and tested biodynamic agriculture in concentration camps.
Today, the AfD considers climate change to be hysteria and conspiracy, while neo-Nazis are settling in marginalised areas as organic farmers and ideologues of the New Right want to break the left's sovereignty of interpretation on the environmental issue in order to spread anti-Semitic and racist ideas. The former present themselves as defenders of coal mining, air travel and meat consumption without borders, while the latter appeal to those environmentalists and critics of globalisation who love their homeland, nation and state and want to preserve the diversity of cultures as if they were different animal and plant species.
All currents on the right, as well as deep ecologists and biocentrists, insinuate that the planet is overpopulated, an idea that resonates with the much-vaunted centre of society. Greenpeace founder Paul Watson describes humans as a virus that has infested the earth.
The lecture offers an overview of current activities and positions of the right in the environmental field as well as a historical review. It also deals with ideological interfaces that the right can utilise.
Peter Bierl is a freelance journalist, member of the trade union Verdi and lives with his family near Munich. His most recent publications are "Einmaleins der Kapitalismuskritik" (Unrast-Verlag 2018) and "Grüne Braune: Umwelt-, Tier- und Heimatschutz von rechts" (Unrast-Verlag 2014).

Climate change is the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century because we humans are inextricably linked to our planet's systems and depend on their integrity. The destruction of natural habitats and the increasing proximity of animals and humans make an estimated 800,000 unknown viruses a risk. The current Covid-19 crisis is a stark reminder of the links between human health and the health of our planet's natural systems.
The health sector plays a central role in communicating, preventing and following up on the effects of the climate and environmental crisis. This is precisely where the Planetary Health Academy's free online lecture series comes in: Leading experts - including Luisa Neubauer (Fridays for Future), Dr Eckart von Hirschhausen and Prof Harald Lesch (LMU Munich) - will explain the connections between human health, political, economic and social contexts, as well as the natural systems of our planet, in ten related events taking place once a week.

Plastic is light, versatile, colourful, stable and durable. This is another reason why plastic causes enormous problems.
We dispose of around 8 million tonnes of plastic in the sea every year. Waste from products that have often only been used for a few minutes.
By 2050, there may be more plastic than fish in the oceans. Microplastics can already be found in almost every table salt.
Shouldn't we just think about smart solutions? With pleasure!
Our Summer School is all about connections, concrete challenges and clever ideas.
We discuss solutions from the following areas: Bionics, systemic thinking, sufficiency, innovation and the private sector.
The Plastic Summer School 2020 will take place weekly from 15 June to 24 July 2020. The time is not yet known.

Understanding why we need to protect biodiversity.
Climate change, pandemics, refugee flows...
All of this is also linked to the destruction of biodiversity and ecosystems. Intact ecosystems provide a variety of ecosystem services that humans cannot replace at all or only with great technical effort and at high cost.
In this course, we will look at the major challenges of international nature conservation, learn about solutions and innovative approaches, and find out what drives the destruction of nature. How does the destruction of nature manifest itself? Where do we need to act and how? What are the key actors and players?
