With the idea of oikosophy or environmental culturing a new main emphasis is described in the sustainability of ecological education.

Education in environmental problems often demand a change of behavior by scientific knowledge of nature and will be completed by the request, to develop an esthetic dialog between man and his environment to produce empathy for nature.

The experience of nature and the engagement to natural processes build the main idea of the oikosophy under consideration of a change of behavior by "estimating my house" (= oikos greak).

So environmental culturing looks up for the esthetic dialog between man and nature. As a suitable medium of the translation into action arts, music, dance, theater and especially theater-performance and environmance are the particular preferred facts.
