Bonn Spring School on Sustainability

Spring School Participants

From 1-10 April 2019, the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE) and the International Office at the University of Bonn co-organised the Alumni Spring School on „Global transformation towards Sustainability”. The spring school centered around the idea of transdisciplinary peer learning for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and brought together Germany-alumni from different African countries and from the Managing Global Governance (MGG) programme at DIE.

Building and refreshing links with stakeholders in sustainability around the globe, the new spring school also aimed at inspiring new perspectives on sustainability through an innovative learning experience and spaces for exchange among each other and with different actors of the Bonn Alliance for Sustainability Research. A next edition of the Spring School will take place in March 2020.
