| Symposium 1 |
Currently, the capacity for reconsidering "university reform" |
|---|---|
| The purpose of the FD Forum is basically to provide and share meaningful information when promoting FD at each university. On the other hand, there are many FD personnel at each university who feel that there are few participants or that they cannot gain understanding on campus when conducting FD training on campus, and in some cases, the person in charge may think that they are doing their duties as a duty at the request of superiors, or they may have doubts about FD and the state of the Central Education Council that promotes FD and so-called "university reform". In this symposium, we will pause and consider the recent situation surrounding universities and the trends and significance of so-called "university reforms" such as FD. In a forum such as the FD Forum, it may be difficult to discuss questions and discomforts about FD and university reform in the first place, but I believe that facing such thoughts is also an important significance of the FD Forum.

| Symposium 2 |
How is it possible to simultaneously solve social issues through SDGs and universities and |
| In the outcome document adopted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit held at the United Nations Headquarters in New York in September 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were raised. This requires Member States to work to achieve 17 goals and 169 targets by 2030, including the environment, poverty, conflict, education and food. Based on a basic understanding of how higher education can contribute, we will search for clues to the challenge of opening up the future based on practical examples related to the achievement of the SDGs goals, not just SDGs, and expectations received from society.
