As part of the project "Research, Development and Dissemination of Educational Approaches to Overcome the Cycle of Poverty, Inequality and Abuse," we will be holding a seminar to consider "Education for Living" and the future of education.
Event Overview
"Education for living" is education that aims to help children acquire the knowledge necessary to solve the "difficulties in life" they face and to foster safe values by having serious discussions with their friends. "Education for living" is thought to contain a lot of meaningful content for all children and adults. Therefore, SMBC Kyoto University Studio is working on a project to spread "Education for living".
In this seminar, the project representative will not only convey the importance of "education for living," but will also discuss how universities and companies can be involved in children's learning and school education. We also plan to consider the form and possibilities of a new society.
