Launched in 2007, the Studium Fundamentale programme ‘Sustainability – Improving the World through Practical Projects’ offers students on bachelor's programmes at the University of Erfurt and Erfurt University of Applied Sciences the opportunity to make an active contribution to the sustainable development of society. To date, more than 1,000 students from all disciplines have taken part. As part of the Studium Fundamentale, students work in collaboration with external partners to organise practical projects in the field of sustainability and acquire key professional skills. This student-organised seminar has been recognised on several occasions as an officially accredited project of the UN Decade of ‘Education for Sustainable Development’.
Film project ‘Sustainability? in Erfurt’
The film “Sustainability? in Erfurt” was produced in collaboration with Josef Ahlke, the Agenda 21 coordinator for Erfurt City Council, and the University of Erfurt.
The three students, Christopher Harsch, Pascal Kiofsky and Stefan Rose , made the film as part of the university course “StuFu Sustainability – It’s your fault that the world is the way it is…”.
The film aims to showcase various projects, companies and organisations working on sustainability in Erfurt. The main focus is on the owners and heads, highlighting their personal motivation and their understanding of sustainability.
