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.
Computer Models
What can we learn from computer models about human evolution, behavior, and sustainability? Computer models allow us to observe and investigate the influence of environmental conditions and behaviors on the evolutionary development of social-ecological systems.
Cross-Species Comparisons
What can we learn from our biologically close and distant relatives about human evolution, behavior, and sustainability? Comparing traits of humans and other species helps us understand the causes of our behaviors and the principles of cooperation and sustainability.

Rapid Assessment
Rapid Assessment is a methodology for conducting rapid, reliable, and valuable assessments of school or community culture.
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.

Cultural evolution
Human Evolution Resources Cultural Evolution At Darwin’s time, nothing was known about genes. Darwin and others only knew from observations in the world that there is a lot of variation between and within speices, and that offspring resembled their parents. Characteristics are inherited in some way to offspring, and new variation come into the world
