Theoretical Research: The ESD projects in the Asia-Pacific region take different forms according to each social, economic, and environmental condition. Also, CSR in business sector has recently attracted increasing attention in terms of promoting sustainable development. These ESD research products based at the community and actor level will provide significant theoretical perspectives for broadening the possibility and promoting the future projects. This project team academically disseminates these research products to the public based on the findings from each project teams both domestically and internationally.
International Networking: Attending various international conferences related to ESD, this team will follow and introduce the information about the latest trend of international ESD research to the domestic field. It will also work on network development with other international research institutions to further ESD projects. |

ESDRC coordinates the ESD programs collaboratively with the affiliated schools of Rikkyo University (elementary, middle, and high schools) to fulfill the social responsibility as an institution of higher education. Offering children a learning experience about coral reefs, "Eco OPERA!TM", is one of our collaborative educational efforts between businesses, local governments, and schools based in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. This project also organizes symposiums, exhibitions, and drawing contests for children to learn about environmental education in terms of marine environmental conservation and global warming. |
