Within the Erasmus+ project, five universities from Germany, Viena, Albania, Malaysia and Sain are collaborating to redesign interreligious learning. This initiative aims to integrate nature and climate protection, promotion of climate resilience, and reflection on climate justice into educational efforts. These efforts span various subject areas, with the goal of fostering urgently needed ecological transformation processes. The focus is not only on enhancing environmental knowledge but also on cultivating a shared environmental ethical awareness in relation to the Interreligious approach.


The professionalization of teacher training and continuing education (across all disciplines) is grounded in the transfer of information, discourses, and reflections on theological foundations and environmental-ethical, context-specific approaches to nature conservation and climate change. This approach ensures that interreligious cooperation in environmental education is effectively incorporated into school practices, including didactic concepts, team teaching, and the development of joint teaching materials.
