The Recurrent Education Unit of the Innovation Organization's Educational Development Center has planned "How to Learn About Wellbeing," a collaboration between Hokkaido University's Recurrent Education Unit and EWBC, as a forum for on-campus and off-campus stakeholders interested in well-being and education to learn together.

EWBC (Exploring the Potential of Well-being​ ​Competency in Future Education) is a study group where people from diverse backgrounds, including schools, government, research institutions, and corporations, who are interested in well-being and education, gather to learn from each other.

Up until now, we have held events throughout Japan, inviting teachers from elementary, junior high, and high schools to present their practices in school education, and also incorporating talks from local governments and companies. We place great importance on the fact that all participants are both practitioners and learners (including the organizers!).

 

<Try becoming someone or something> <Try using objects and your hands>

I would like to explore the potential of different learning methods, combining them with the practices we have implemented in high school, together with all of you participants.

 

In the morning, we will also hold a hands-on workshop called "Let's Create a Coexistent Community Together!", a project jointly developed by Hokkaido University and NTT.
