Abstract

Individuals are addressed by the Agenda 2030 to be an active part of sustainable development. However, sustainable development is a complex and strategic topic where individuals struggle with adequate behavior. Although, for example, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a framework to organize the topic's complexity, the level of information often is beyond individual life. Consequently, people lack knowledge and ideas of how to act in the sense of sustainable development. To tackle this challenge, a workshop including a structural constellation is conceptualized. Based on the experiential learning process which includes feeling, reflecting, thinking, and acting, participants access the SDG-framework linked to personal experience. This is possible as the workshop uses the subgoals and indicators of the SDG-framework that are used to monitor the global achievements of countries. Workshop participants create awareness and build knowledge about sustainable development which in turn will change their behavior and may lead to innovation.
