【Symposium (1)】

How to deal with the diversity of people gathered at the university

Capacity: 420 (priority capacity: 250)

Universities are home to a diverse range of people. There are various races, ethnicities, nationalities, genders, sexualities, disabilities, as well as generations, main languages, religions, occupations, etc. Recognizing that universities are diverse is important in ensuring that minority rights are not violated at universities. The world is currently in the midst of rapid internationalization. In the future of university education and university management, an open view of humanity and society will be required to live in such an internationalized and diverse world.

"Relearning" for Working Adults and University Education

Capacity: 300 (priority capacity: 180)

In pursuing an educational system that supports human beings to continue learning throughout their lives, it is important to consider the ideal form of university education that is unique to the "100-year life era." Developing programs for working adults through industry-academia collaboration can transform university education and promote diversity in universities. In this symposium, we will question the meaning of "relearning" by working adults in today's society, and discuss the issues of university education in the future from multiple perspectives.

Student Education through Regional Collaboration with Universities

Capacity: 30 (priority capacity: 18)

Collaborative activities between universities and local communities have advantages to both research, human exchange, and industrial revitalization, and when students participate in these activities, the community becomes a field where experiential and practical learning can be conducted, and educational effects can be expected to be great. On the other hand, collaborative activities seem to cause different tasks and burdens for faculty members than in ordinary lectures. In this subcommittee, we will introduce examples of collaborative activities with the keywords of collaboration in fields outside the field of teachers' expertise, utilization of student shops, and collaboration with distant regions, and consider effective ways to promote education based on the excellent points and issues.

Special Needs School Teacher Training

Capacity: 30 (priority capacity: 18)

In Japan, which aims to build an inclusive education system by promoting special needs education, there is an urgent need to train teachers with expertise in special needs education. In particular, experience in the school field is important for obtaining a special needs school teacher's license.
