| Resumo: | [EN] Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a holistic concept that addresses the global challenges of our interconnected world in environmental, economic, and social terms. It aims to empower people to act responsibly for ecological integrity, economic viability, and equitable society, to recognize and evaluate problems of unsustainable development, and to apply knowledge about sustainable development. In this context, Gestaltungskompetenz (shaping competence), which is based on the OECD Competency Categories, is an important aspect in enabling sustainable development processes and facilitating the change of perspective from reaction to action. Therefore, prospective strategies are required. This is an essential link to the innovation methodology of Design Thinking. This article introduces the concept of Gestaltungskompetenz, the core elements of Design Thinking, and the relevance of its mindset. It also highlights examples of how Gestaltungskompetenz can be supported by Design Thinking in the context of ESD in Higher Education. |
