Cashew – A Global Learning ChallengeCan topics such as Fair Trade, Natural Sciences, Culti va-ti on, History, Politi cs, Climate or World Trade and their global context be identi fi ed with such a small and extraor-dinary delicacy as the cashew? And – with this – can per-specti ves from South Africa, India, Germany and Mexico be examined and social, ecological, economic and global trade questi ons presented?

With the educati onal material Cashew – A Global Learning Challenge we tackle these questi ons and combine inclusi-ve learning with Educati on for Sustainable Development (ESD). With a variety of inclusive didacti c-methodical ideas we would like to point out to all students global contexts and moti vate them to acti vely co-design our future World.

Cashew – A Global Learning Challenge is an inclusive educati onal resource for the ninth and tenth grade but adaptable for ESD at other levels. The example of the small cashew shows how inclusion and ESD can be tackled at school from the perspecti ves of the four countries Germa-ny, India, Mexico and South Africa.

Internati onal Experts from the ESD Expert Net (www.esd-expert.net) as well as teachers in inclusive and special educati on from these four countries parti cipated in the creati on of the inclusive educati onal material.This project was realized in cooperati on with Behinderung und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit e.V.
