The seminar “Sustainability at and through Goethe University” took place in the 2020 summer semester. It was eligible for credits in the Educational Science, Environmental Science and Sociology degree programmes. In the sense of education for sustainable development, the aim of the seminar was to contribute to empowering the participants for future-oriented thinking and action. In this context, two perspectives were adopted: On the one hand, the question of what sustainability at Goethe University means and, on the other hand, to what extent Goethe University can foster sustainability in the City of Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region. The seminar followed the service learning approach, which in other words means “learning through social commitment”. The participants worked on practice-related questions and challenges in the context of sustainability. In this way, they should make a contribution to society (service) by applying the contents and methods learned and at the same time gather important practical experience (learning).
