Background: The Internationally Connected Digital Classroom Education (ICDOCIDE) is an innovative approach in higher education that brings together students from different countries in shared digital classrooms to exchange knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. The ICODICE method was developed in a pilot project between Justus-Liebig-University Gießen (Germany), the University of Siegen (Germany), and Kerala Agricultural University (India) and funded by the German Foundation for Innovation in Higher Education (“Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre”). It brought together students from India and Germany and focused on the effects of climate change, climate justice, and pathways of socio-ecological transformation — topics that are relevant to societies both in the Global South and the Global North.
