Today's children should also be able to play an active role in shaping the world of tomorrow. The 10th Paderborn Primary School Day on Friday, 27 February at Paderborn University will focus on how this can be achieved at primary school level. Under the motto "Shaping the future together - education for sustainable development from the very beginning", teachers, researchers, heads of department, student teachers and trainee teachers are invited to discuss how children can be empowered and encouraged to actively participate in shaping a sustainable future. Registration is still possible until 8 February on the event page.

The Primary School Day opens up a variety of perspectives on dimensions of the UN education campaign "Education for Sustainable Development" (ESD). This aims to create sustainable structures in order to empower all people to actively shape their living environment. The 10th Paderborn Primary School Day will kick off with a keynote speech by ESD expert Margret Rasfeld on the topic of "Shaping the paradigm shift - courageous paths to new learning". The author and former headteacher will explore the question of how schools can be turned into vibrant, democratic places of learning that empower and encourage young people.

"In addition to Margret Rasfeld's keynote speech, participants can look forward to more than 30 exciting workshops and presentations, which will give them the opportunity to delve deeper into individual aspects and exchange ideas. You can look forward to new impulses, concrete practical ideas and plenty of opportunities to network," says Prof Dr Andrea Becher, head of the Primary School Plus group (AG) of the PLAZ - Professional School of Education at Paderborn University, inviting all interested parties to attend. The AG is organising the event. The regular participation fee for the conference is 15 euros. Students pay a reduced fee of 5 euros, trainee teachers 10 euros.
