She is also a network manager and Societal Patner in the Impact Assessment for Action Competence (IMP>ACT) project of the German Society for Sustainability at Higher Education Institutions (DG HochN).
She specializes in the field of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). In this context, she pursues several perspectives: Firstly, in the IMP>ACT project, she is investigating the effectiveness of ESD formats in higher education, particularly with regard to the promotion of action skills among students and teachers.
Secondly, as part of LoLE, she is developing a free ESD training programme for school leaders based on the Whole School Approach. The aim is to strengthen the empowerment of students through their active participation in sustainability projects. Daria scientifically accompanies the development, needs and framework conditions of the training and evaluates the programme. In this context, she is also aiming for a doctorate.
Daria Humburg studied law and political science at Leuphana University Lüneburg and TU Dresden (B.A. and M.A.). Her path to ESD was characterised by her diverse involvement with Greenpeace Dresden e.V. and Lokale Agenda 21 für Dresden e.V.. She also successfully initiated and established a network for innovative teaching formats in the field of ESD at DG HochN.
Her central concern is to make ESD accessible, understandable and practical - together with all relevant stakeholders from universities, schools and society.
