Building Global Awareness and Social Activism among Japanese College Students

Speaker: Lokon et al.

Saturday
4:45 PM - 5:40 PM
Language: English and Japanese
In this bilingual presentation, Miyazaki International College students will report on opinions about social activism held by Japanese youth surveyed. The study sheds light on Japanese students' lack of engagement in peace studies and volunteering activities. It concludes with a call for a paradigm shift in conceptualizing peace and socially engaged education in Japan.
