Class flow
This course is based on student-led activities, in a transdisciplinary project, with close consultation with their advisers. Group works are also encouraged. There will be a final presentation to share the results of what is implemented and what is realized by them. Those students who wish to take this course need to prepare a plan of the activities in advance and to obtain the approval of their advisers. The applicable activity must be at least one month including the periods for both the preparation and implementation.
Course schedule/Objectives
| Course schedule | Objectives | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Students proceed the individual project according to the following steps: 1. Carry out activities voluntarily based on the co-creation practice plan approved by the supervisor in advance. 2. Consult with your academic advisor and other appropriate faculty members for the activities, and report the progress to the supervisor. 3. The students are required to share and discuss the outcomes and lessons obtained from the implementation of their activities through the GEDES workshop. Example of activity For example, we can assume the activities targeting elementary school students at the local elementary school, where students carry out outreach activities (science classes, awareness raising activities, etc.) related to their research, creating new things, learning from them, and obtaining a guideline for future research activities and careers. These outcomes of practicing specific “co-creation” activities with related parties/organizations of the “outside” society of the university will be shared in the workshop and report. | Those students who wish to take this course need to prepare a plan of the activities in advance and to obtain the approval of their advisers. |
