Is there a Transdisciplinary Language of Science?
摘要
The international African higher education and NGOs service-learning network “Greening Africa Together” (GATo) was initiated in 2016 with the objective of bringing together universities and other partners to address climate change and promote sustainable development. In the framework of his new module “Global Climate and SDG engagement” launched in 2022, GATo is working with other partners from the Global South to tackle climate change and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a joint servicelearning module. Not only students from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Columbia, Ghana, Kenya, DR Congo, Senegal, Tchad, Togo, Turkey, Uganda, and Yemen, but also from Germany and Spain, are participating in the module. The common language of Communication is English with the participation of several experts from African countries on various topics related to sustainable development such as photovoltaics, intercultural communication, organic agriculture, biogas and carbon offsetting (cf.
