Theological thought has long been focused on the meaning to be found in our existence, but it has tended to neglect what it might offer to those seeking how to prolong and improve our physical existence in this world.

Education for Sustainable Development Frieden, Sicherheit, Gerechtigkeit, ein wirtschaftlich abgesichertes, aber ökologisch verträgliches Leben: Das sind Wünsche, die für heutige wie zukünftige Generationen existenziell sind. Junge Menschen zu befähigen, die Zukunft in diesem Sinne mitzugestalten, ist Aufgabe der Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE). Inwiefern kann neben Biologie, Geografie, Politik oder Wirtschaft auch der Fremdsprachenunterricht dazu beitragen? Lernende auf die Bewältigung ökologischer, ökonomischer, politischer und sozialer Herausforderungen vorzubereiten, ist in sprachlich orientierten Fächern ein neues Bildungsziel. Diesem bisher weitgehend unerforschten...
