What is ESD Platform WILL?

WILL, a youth organization  promotes "Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)" with a diverse group of people and organizations. We aim to create a society where everyone can be involved and realize "sustainable development (SD)". WILL members, while taking action on their own,  seek to find methods of multi-layered and pluralistic  "encounters" and "connections" between people in society.

 

Ofunato ESD Project

After 3.11the Great East Japan Earthquake, we started the support project in Akasaki-cho, Ofunato City, Iwate Prefecture

Sustainable island building project @Oku-Komyoen

"ESD Volunteer Volaban" has been volunteerd at a Hansen's disease sanatorium Oku-Komyoen since 2007.

WILL and  RCE Hyogo-Kobe collaborate to operate this portal site.

Through activities in various fields related to ESD / SD, you can deepen your learning from multiple angles.

WILL members are trying to learn ESD practically by going out to various areas while keeping their focus on the main project.

This center, where WILL has its secretariat, has eight core divisions.

We are promoting the practice and research towards the creation of the multi-layered pluralistic community

It is one of the United Nations University-certified ESD promotion regional bases.

Set up a secretariat at Kobe University and tour in collaboration with WILL

It is the management of the programs and practices research meeting.

The management team, consisting of the secretariat, steering committee members, and council members, is responsible for the practical aspects of project design and program promotion. We aim to create a platform that facilitates the activities of our members!

What's WILL?

What does each letter in the acronym W,I,L,L, represent?

Work

スクリーンショット 2019-11-20 23.16.19.png

WILL focuses on WORK (volunteer work, workshops, work camps).

Volunteer Work

Isn't a volunteer a social device that easily crosses the boundaries of each specialty? Through volunteering, we become aware of various problems and know the ideals pursued in the fields. What kind of volunteers will make you aware of what social problems?

 

Workshops

There are various methods that allow participants to loosely connect with each other and establish their own independence. We develop the methods based on each period the concrete circumstances (time, place, person, purpose and environment) and consider their meanings and effects.

 

Voluntary Workcamps

We focus on Workcamps as the place where people are not good at interacting with people and putting themselves in a group can have a little confidence and reconsider what they thought to be natural. Workcamps may teach us the importance of face-to-face holistic and physical relationships with human and other beings, land, water, air, nature, etc.

Inclusion

Participants who are taking action are not the only members of WILL. We promote ESD with multi-stakeholders.

Moreover, “Everyone is the Protagonist” in WILL. Each member is different, from those with disabilities, those of differing nationalities, ages, etc. We promote the creation of an ”Inclusive Community” that is not stagnant, but actively changes and is accepting of its varying members.

Life & Love

S__21053472.jpg

Through WORK we are exposed to varying values and belief systems, compelling us to observe our own lifestyle.
 We create a platform that encourages encounters and connections, thus leading to a sustainable society, that values all different kinds of INOCHI.

*INOCHI: Japanese pluriversal notion; lives, soul, spirit, existence of people, animals, plants and so on.

How can we create a sustainable society ...?

▶ ︎

What kind of places and ways are needed for people who are socially divided and characterized by immersive communication to collaborate each other for our common future?

▶ ︎

What kind of places and ways are needed for specialists who are pursuing expertise in a particular area to respect each other and collaborate together?

▶ ︎

What kind of places and ways are needed for stakeholders with somewhat conflicting interests to understand each other's positions and history, and to create encounters to encourage problem solving for the future?

▶ ︎

What kind of places and ways are needed to transform social structures and lifestyles through the mindful activities of all people?

At WILL, We are thinking about these questions,

creating multiple practical hypotheses, and working

to create a place for "encounters" and "connections"

toward the creation of a "sustainable society.

The relation between ESD and WILL

▶ ︎ ESD and WILL

The ‘E’ in ‘ESD’ stands for ‘Education’, however, in our opinion it also indicates “Empowerment’, ‘Enhancement’ and ‘Encounter’.

WILL does not focus on education in a narrow sense, instead, we stress
 the situations and methods of the empowerment, and the way of encounters which invent incidental learning. 

WILL is a platform in which we can consider and invent education in a broad sense to nurture human development.

▶ ︎ SDGs and WILL

ESD means ‘E for SD’(Education for Sustainable Development) . We are compelled to consider the relation between ‘E’ and ‘SD’. ‘E’ exists in the movement of ‘SD’, and ‘SD’ is created through ‘E’. It is just like we need the soil of democracy when we learn democracy. We keep considering the mutual and integral relation between ‘E’ and ‘SD’. 

Therefore, rethinking the relation between SDGs(Sustainable Development Goals) and ‘E’ is also the purpose of WILL. We do not uncritically accept the goals. We are trying to contemplate with many people whether or not they are appropriate goals for sustainable society.
