• Course description Educational practices vary widely across locations, reflecting changing contexts in time and place. Nonetheless, they all share an aim to nurture the continued wellbeing of the community they serve and address any problems that threaten this. This is true for local communities grouped for example, through ethnicity, religious beliefs, or nationality. Today, in the twenty first century however, despite our membership in local communities, we all belong to a single globalized community and therefore, as members, share worldwide problems that threaten our wellbeing. These problems include the climate crisis as well as those identified in the UN`s SDGs. What changes must be made to educational practices to address these shared threats? How do the required changes relate to current local educational practices? Answering such questions requires broad and deep reflections about the nature of knowledge and learning, about what kind of knowledge and learning we value, and about the relevant skills that must then be developed as a result of these reflections. All the lessons will begin on Wednesday afternoon from 13:00 (Japan time GMT+9) through a live streaming via YouTube. Certificate will be provided for the participants who have completed all 4 assignments for the lesson by the set due date.
