    2023 Event 5

    Teaching Sustainable Development Goals: Three Approaches

         The Sustainable Development Goals have attained a dominant place in the public narrative both globally and here, in Japan. As a global phenomenon, it is appropriate that our students become familiar with precisely what they are. Also, it is important that they are able to interact with others in the international community with respect to the social and environmental issues that the SDGs present.

        JALT Hokkaido’s own Tim Grose, Matt Cotter and Don Hinkelman, will give three different, but connected presentations, that offer different perspectives on how and why our students can benefit from a close study of these issues. Abstracts and bios for the presentations can be found the link below
