Learn and Teach for the Future

el mundo is an educational program of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. We stand for sustainable education, develop education for sustainable development at LMU and are also involved in an international context. Our projects focus on participatory and design-oriented learning. el mundo thus responds to a wide range of requests from science, politics and society, which regard the anchoring of education for sustainable development as a cross-sectional task.
