Abstract
This paper discusses the question of how interdisciplinary teamwork on sustainable projects influences the perception of the concept of sustainability by the team members. The target groups are two projects of the master program “ZukunftsDesign” (Roughly translated as designing the future). The research is carried out by conducting explorative interviews. For a methodical triangulation observation of the group and a survey were used. Finally, the paper summarizes how the perception of the concept of sustainability may or may not change through an interdisciplinary environment to give hints on how sustainable concepts can be communicated more efficiently.
