About 『SDGs4.7 OPEN LAB』
Educators Training for SDGs Education through SDGs 4.7
The Japanese National Commission for UNESCO, under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has allocated funding for Japanese institutions’ projects which aim to contribute to the achievement of SDGs through international exchange and/or international cooperation projects. In the year of 2018, the project “SDGs 4.7 Open Lab” proposed by Global Incubation x Fostering Talents (GiFT) has been accepted as one of the initiatives.
Purpose and intent
・Under the funding supports from MEXT, Global Incubation x Fostering Talents (GiFT) will organise a training programme specially designed for educators (teachers and students) who are keen on implementing SDGs in classrooms and/or education fields.
・The training session will focus on SDGs target 4.7 (as below) – especially, our main target area would be Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED) as we believe that those aspects would be the foundation of people living in a 21st century global society.
・The training also aims at connecting networks for innovative education for SDGs, with educators from Japan and the Philippines to foster mutual learning exchanges and possible international projects.
・The training will use various existing materials to enhance students’ learning, and the on-site educators’ training will focus on socio-emotional and behavioural domains to develop teachers’ global competencies.
・The training will be held in Cebu city, and the participants from the Philippines can explore opportunities and methods for effective delivery of SDGs concepts into education curriculum in the Philippines.
・There will be ten (10) Japanese participants who are separately selected in Japan and they will join the program in Cebu.
