Abstract (250-300 ord, exklusive titel)
Depending on weather you are scientist in chemistry, physics, social sciences or engineering you will choose different angles to discuss and teach about sustainable development. To be prepared for the future students must be encouraged to learn interdisciplinary and take part in different views in the debate.
In higher education the teachers are often experts in a specific scientific area, and thus they may feel uncomfortable in teaching sustainable development in an interdisciplinary way. Nor are they comfortable with the opposing views of questions that will arise in a classroom debate. Secondary school teachers are expected to teach about sustainable development, but may have no training in the area. They may also lack time to develop interdisciplinary activities for the students.
The use of board games as teaching tools are an effective way of improving efficiency, demonstrating opposing views and encouraging an element of collaboration in a non- threatening environment. Interdisciplinary topics are naturally invoked during the playing.
