Saturday class-SDGs and the sea to think about in "x combination"-class production
<Organizer: Midorigaoka Women's Junior High School, Yokohama City University, Marine Association of Yokohama＞
Date of implementation: November 27, 2021
I learned SDGs such as gender, technology, and the sea from four perspectives of ESD (review, connect, change, regional issues are global issues). We created a space where students and teachers could talk in a flat manner, identified things that would increase the effect and things that would disappear in the future, and made them aware of social changes.
