Class Objectives
/Class Outline
The common programme for master's students is a part of  Hiroshima-moedel liberal arts education which also includes undergraduate liberal art subjects. It was formed in accordance with the SDGs and the Splendor Plan 2017, Hiroshima University's long-term vision. The SDGs are the challenges of our age and society whose core is the sustainability. They require us not only to solve individual issues but also to respond to multiple challenges with disciplinary and temporal continuity. Furthermore, in order to find solutions to the challenges, we need a new form of society where not only donor countries and recipient countries but also local governments, private enterprises and civil society work in partnership. In Academic approach to SDGs - B, the major focus will be on environment, society and governance. It is recommended to register for this course together with Academic approach to SDGs - A. 
Class Schedule See Japanese syllabus.

A short report is required after each lesson, which also serves for evaluation.
