The course will begin with an overview of UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), followed by an introduction of some Japanese companies and organizations (including NGOs or NPOs) taking interesting and innovative approaches for building a peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable society. We will analyze and discuss the characteristics as well as challenges of these companies and organizations by paying particular attention to some key concepts such as social entrepreneurship and by visiting some of them headquartered in Hiroshima.
