(Special) International Collaborative Practice A IV: Global Co-creation Innovation Program: Innovation for Well-being - The Challenge of Creating a World Beyond GDP -

Overview

We would like you to be able to play an active role not only in Japan but also in the world. With this in mind, this course will focus on the theme of "Innovation for Well-being - The Challenge of Creating a World Beyond GDP," and will ask you to propose a business plan that does not focus solely on economic growth.

Through the course, the students will be able to cultivate the ability to co-create with their peers, to create innovation, and to create relationships with international peers, which will be indispensable in the future. At the same time, students can deepen their understanding of the trends of the future, the current and future state of society, economy, and environment in Japan and other countries, and their own new possibilities through international co-creation activities.

Youth Co:Lab, a community of young social entrepreneurs in the Asia-Pacific region in 2017 to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem, which is co-organized by the United Nations Development Programme and Citi Foundation. There will also be opportunities to interact with young entrepreneurs who are active globally. We look forward to your active participation.

Features of this course

• In this course, the emphasis is on practical application, and there will be many mechanisms for students to discover and solve problems. For example, we will incorporate a lot of work in the course that will allow students to learn through experience about global trends, how to discover problems, how to solve them, and how to make the solutions work as a business.
• In this course, we will create many opportunities for active learning, such as pair work and group work, because we believe that there are many things that can be learned through dialogue between students and instructors and between students.
• This course is open to all undergraduate and graduate students, so it can be taken by a wide range of students from freshmen to doctoral students. We would like this course to function as a place where students of different grades can interact with each other, so we hope that students can make horizontal and vertical connections.
• We will use Slack to provide a place for interaction outside of the course as well.
