Sarah works as an academic assistant at the University of Constance. In university teaching, she is responsible for the field of mountain sports and experiential education and offers seminars in the fields of sport, health, nature and sustainable development. In her research, she develops and tests new methodological concepts to link education for sustainable development (ESD) with movement, play and sport. The connection of a sporty and at the same time sustainable lifestyle also occupies her in her everyday life and leisure time, for example when mountain biking and ski touring. She finds it wonderful to have the opportunity at the university to reach future multipliers with topics of sustainable development and ESD.
