Why is GLI promoting "SDGs Education"?

Hello, I am Kaburaki, a representative of GLI.

 

this monthSaturday, November 10."is Hawaii Day. At that time, we will be introducing a few of our study tours for next spring,Why Hawaii now?"You might be tempted to ask.

 

Yes, Hawaii is a tourist destination for Japanese people. You might say, "I've been there many times on vacation.

 

However, this Hawaii study tour is not for sightseeing.

 

What's hot in Hawaii right now is, well, you guessed it!The SDGs."It is. (*If you are hearing about the SDGs for the first time, I have included a link to an explanatory page at the end of this blog.)

 

The State of Hawaii isGoal of halving fossil fuel use by 2030The company has set forth the following

 

In an increasingly developed Hawaii, Native Hawaiians are struggling to protect their ancient nature, culture, and life.

 

A large amount of plastic trash has washed ashore and wildlife has eaten it by mistake, causing damage.This study tour was mainly for this purpose.Learn about SDG activities in Hawaii.

Every year in Japan, typhoons cause serious damage. Summer heat is hotter than ever experienced in the past. Clearly something is wrong with this climate.

 

It is important to take measures after it has happened, but unless global warming is stopped, it will get worse in the future.

 

howeverJapan, like the United States and China, is not among the 77 countries that have pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050 at this year's climate change summit.

 

Also,27.59 million tons of food waste per year in Japanand others have been issued. Of these, food that can still be eaten but is discarded, the so-calledFood loss" totaled 6.43 million tons.

 

This is,Equivalent to 1.7 times the amount of world food aid (about 3.8 million tons per year in 2009) for people suffering from hunger around the worldI will do so.

 

Also,Converting food loss to per capita"About one cup of tea (about 139 g) of food is thrown away every day.This is the case (Consumer Affairs Agency).

 

But many people are not aware that they are wasting food.

 

I wonder if this is also a result of exam competition.

I must say that Japanese people are diligent, but have a very low viewpoint of what is good for others and the world.

 

Is this another byproduct of the educational system of examinations?

 

Japanese happiness ranking is the lowest in the developed world.54thIt is. It is dropping every year. When I think of the reason for this, Mother Teresa's words come to mind.

 

'The most unfortunate thing for a human being is to be needed by no one.

 

To GLI's educational philosophy,Be an essential gear of the world.There is something called

 

Be an indispensable cog in society."It means.

 

It means to become a person who can contribute to society by acquiring a value that says, no matter how trivial, we need you, we cannot do without you.

 

When you think about it, does Japanese education provide a system to make children happy in the future?

 

Working means both directly and indirectlyWorking for Someone Else."It is a matter of what you like and what you are good at. If it is something you like to do or something you are good at, you will be really happy.

 

In the U.S..Dream jobThe word is.

 

Is Japanese education helping children find their Dream Job?

If children's personalities, which they like and are good at, are transformed into values, which in turn become their future jobs, nothing could make them happier.

 

To that end,After all, from a young age, it is important to know the reality of the world, to understand the world's problems, and to touch the hearts of those in need,I think it is.

 

There is nothing that Japan does not have. Trains are on time. There is no shortage of food. Education is available to all children.

 

How can happiness be so low in this seemingly rich, industrious and moral country? I urge you to get in touch with the heart of the Native Hawaiians of Hawaii.

 

It is said that in the world of the future, solutions to the challenges set forth in the SDGs will be the pillars of the economy and industry. However, awareness of the SDGs among Japanese people is still low.

 

Once again,What is the purpose of studying? What does it mean to work? What is a happy life?When I thought about it,

 

It's not about scoring points,To find one's lifelong Dream Job, and to become an indispensable cog in society, working for someone else in a fun and exciting way,Isn't this what will truly make children happy?

 

GLI will continue to provide a learning environment for this purpose.
