Abstract
How to promote sustainable practices and practical learning at universities? The course Design Thinking Challenges at the University of Graz, initiated by students, incorporated student-centered pedagogies like experimental learning and critical reflection. The goal was to empower students to address sustainability issues, foster collaborative learning, and develop problem-solving skills. The article offers a personal perspective on the experience of implementing the course, and shares achievements, challenges, and recommendations.
期刊介绍：
GAIA is a peer-reviewed inter- and transdisciplinary journal for scientists and other interested parties concerned with the causes and analyses of environmental and sustainability problems and their solutions.
Environmental problems cannot be solved by one academic discipline. The complex natures of these problems require cooperation across disciplinary boundaries. Since 1991, GAIA has offered a well-balanced and practice-oriented forum for transdisciplinary research. GAIA offers first-hand information on state of the art environmental research and on current solutions to environmental problems. Well-known editors, advisors, and authors work to ensure the high quality of the contributions found in GAIA and a unique transdisciplinary dialogue – in a comprehensible style.
