Why human behavior is at the center of education
Dustin Eirdosh is a researcher in the Department of Comparative Cultural Psychology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Psychology, in Leipzig, Germany and is the co-founder of the international educational development non-profit Global ESD. In his enlightening talk, he brings us his vision for the future of education. He wants to show how human behaviour can be seen through the lens of biology, history, math, economics, civics, geography, art, literature, and more, and therefore acts as a central concept to connect these traditionally disconnected school subjects.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
How can we use insights about human evolution, human behavior, and the causal interactions in social-ecological systems to address local, regional and global sustainability issues? How can we use these understandings to solve real world problems?

Our Mind
What can we learn from our own thoughts and intuitions about human evolution, behavior, and sustainability? Understanding the causes of our perceptions, intuitions, and beliefs helps us to engage them more flexibly, change perspective, and learn from each other to achieve shared goals.
Governing the Commons
What can we learn from communities around the world managing shared resources about human evolution, behavior, and sustainability? Exploring diverse sustainability dilemmas in the world helps us to identify the conditions and behaviors that play a role in the sustainable development of communities.

Community Science Field Guide to School Culture
Schools are central social environments for young people to grow and develop themselves. How schools are governed, and which norms, values, and institutions get adopted, can all drive major life trajectories for how students think about their own learning and civic capacities and about the world they live in. This community science field guide provides supports for students around the world to investigate and strengthen the cooperation dynamics of their own school governance systems.

Ethnography
Ethnography is the documentation of culture. There are many ways to develop an ethnography, depending on the aims, context, and resources of the researchers.
Develop School-Based Community Science Labs
Students can and should be involved in the science-informed processes of community-based cultural evolution within their own school. Because this can be a complex task, schools should have some form of Community Science Lab (CSL), a group of students that are supported in more systematic approaches to school improvement through educational design thinking.
