The Cultural Dimensions of Sustainability
 
We are living in a time of incredible ecological and social change. The destruction of life-supporting ecosystems, the extinction of species, exploding poverty, suburban sprawl and ever-higher energy consumption demand that we take action. The action needed demands new understanding and new competences. Not least, the world requires of us the depth of humanity to meet the scale and complexity of the challenge. To develop a sustainable society, we need to engender greater humanity and a stronger connection to our world while simultaneously furthering our understanding of the complexity of the current crisis.

The Weimar Summer Courses 2010 address these issues from various points of view. In an intercultural environment, with participants from all over the world we will discuss social, cultural and aesthetic approaches towards sustainable development.
