For the Caritas, I offered a training course on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) for employees of a daycare center: Various topics were covered, including the importance of ESD, the Whole Institution Approach and the implementation of a Whole Kindergarten Approach.

The project included team discussions about fears and hopes regarding the sustainable development of the kindergarten. Motivational and creative methods were used, some of which also served as examples for activities with children and were accompanied by pedagogical reflection.
