People from all over the world must be encouraged to actively engage for the process of change to sustainable value creation by innovative means of learning and teaching such as the method of design for mediation. In line with this approach Project C5 is on the development of learnstruments i.e. objects automatically demonstrating their functionality to the user.

The main research goal is to develop methods and tools for learning and teaching in process area C and thereby considerably enhancing the productivity in conveying the challenge of sustainability to billions of humans in the global village. Further research on learning and teaching methods with regard to sustainable development is conducted in the cross-sectional project PA.
