Students can work in groups to solve real problems using their knowledge and skills. This will help them develop critical thinking, social responsibility and other global competencies. Another way to use global competencies is to integrate an interdisciplinary approach into the learning process. Students can study issues such as climate change from a variety of perspectives, including physics, biology and sociology. This will help them understand the complexity of the problem and develop a comprehensive approach to solving it. To better equip students for future challenges and support the development of a stable and equitable society, it is essential to integrate global competencies in sustainable development into every course.
