Dr. Marisol Lopera Pérez &
Prof. Dr. Marco Rieckmann
Sustainability in traning programmes and microcurricula
Marco Rieckmann and Marisol Lopera have already been working together within the DAAD funded project “Education for Sustainable Development Goals – Capacity Building for Educators”, led by Prof. Rieckmann. During the visiting program, they will further implement this project by realizing an analysis of selected training programmes and microcurricula under the light of sustainability. Moreover, they will endeavor to consolidate an idea for a pilot project on “Rural Schools and Sustainable Development Goals” (see project description).
Prof. Dr. Marco Rieckmann is professor of University Didactics in the department of Education Sciences of the Faculty I – Education and Social Sciences of the University of Vechta. He is also the Representative for Sustainability of the University. His main research foci are (university) education for a sustainable development and sustainable university development. He has been conducting research and development projects for several years together with the Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia), home University of Dr. Lopera. The ongoing project is about educational processes on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

About the Project
The initiative “Global Talent for Local Transformation” will enable the consolidating of a pilot proposal called “Rural Schools and SDGs”, as a project idea (phase I), which seeks to advise teachers in the appropriation of the SDGs and the foundations of sustainability. The principal goals are to consolidate a teachers team (from 10 rural schools -Antioquia, Colombia-), and after the characterization (needs, competences, interest), to stimulate environmental leadership, and through different meetings and training, create pedagogical strategies for their educational contexts and the different training spaces. It is expected to strengthen the skills that allow the development of the project, with a view to supporting an academic community -rural schools- through empowering teachers for the approval of the SDGs and the generation of ideas and pedagogical innovation.
