OBJECTIVES: The article addresses the increasingly present concept of education for sustainable
development and outlines its relevance as well as possible implementation scenarios in the context
of residential educational support. THEORETICAL BASE: These are based on the concept
of “design competence” according to de Haan as well as studies on participation in the context
of residential groups of inpatient educational support. METHODS: This article is a discourse
analysis based on previous studies on the topic of education for sustainable development and
participation. The considerations are primarily based on the results of qualitative interviews
with the recipients as well as with professionals from inpatient educational support services.
OUTCOMES: There is a need for development both at the institutional, structural level and
at the level of professionals in order to meet the requirements of adequate participation. The
implementation of the concept of Education for Sustainable Development can act as a resourceful
and democracy-promoting instrument to support the development of adolescents. SOCIAL
WORK IMPLICATIONS: Social workers represent an important profession that contributes to
providing participatory spaces in which education for sustainable development can take place. The
concept is cost-effective, easy to implement and offers the opportunity for sustainable personal
development in the sense of a better world and environment.
