Global Systems and intercultural Competence

Certificate for Sustainability and Global Responsibility

Sustainability is often primarily associated with environmental protection. We at GSiK want to capture this term in all its social, cultural, and economic dimensions. Solutions that are aimed towards our future can only be achieved through a global dialogue and the formulation of common goals.

Never have our intercultural skills been so pronounced and in demand as they are today. We consume goods from all over the world and travel around the globe. We often overlook the fact that our enthusiasm for intercultural encounters leaves huge ecological footprints.

Structure of the certificate

Practical commitment

In the case of practical commitment, you become active in the area of sustainability yourself. You provide evidence of this by means of a certificate of practical commitment.

You can choose the organisation where you will spend at least five hours. The important thing is that the organisation must have a plausible connection to sustainability. Only then can your commitment be recognised for the additional qualification "Sustainability and Global Responsibility". If you are unsure, just ask us.

The following organisations are examples of where students have completed their practical work. However, you can also get involved in other organisations:

  • LehrLernGarten of the Würzburg Botanical Garden
  • Climate and Sustainability Office of the City of Würzburg
  • Environmental centre of the city of Würzburg
  • Environmental centre in the KjG-Haus Würzburg
  • CampusGarten (Ecology department of the student's representation: oekologie@uni-wuerzburg.de)
  • Diocese of Augsburg - World Volunteer Service
  • Living Campus Initiative (Faculty of Biology: lebendiger_campus@lists.uni-wuerzburg.de)
