Students understand the context-dependent dynamics between theory and practice as well as emergent institutions, meso untis, collectives or assemblages within the framework of the social ecological transformation. They are able to explain central cornerstones of inter-and transdiscipliarity, science-society interfaces, education for sustainable development and are able to develop a service learning project dealing with a particular sustainability challenge in the greater realm of the social ecological transformation.
