Warm invitation to the Inauguration

We cordially invite you to the inauguration ceremony for the UNESCO Chair in Learning and Teaching Futures Literacy in the Anthropocene on May 13, 2024, at 3 p.m. at the Baden Campus. As the first University College of Teacher Education, we have been awarded this distinction, coupled with the important task of transforming science into the language of schools in an age-appropriate manner and opening up teaching for future education. One aim of the UNESCO Chair is to embed Futures Literacy in teacher education. We are delighted that Governor Mikl-Leitner will personally attend our celebration. In this spirit, we look forward to and appreciate your attendance to celebrate this accolade for the University College with us, and kindly request RSVP to birgit.lenauer(at)ph-noe.ac.at by May 7, 2024.
