With 2030 the target year to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), many workshops are being held to promote environmental conservation and create a sustainable society. Although people’s awareness of environmental issues is increasing worldwide, there are still major hurdles for each person to understand and take action in their daily lives. Therefore, education for sustainable development (ESD), an approach that allows each individual to consider creating a sustainable society on their own, has become required in recent years.
This article introduces an emergence workshop as an effective format for online ESD, and utilizes a high school-university collaboration program, “Kyoto University Morisatoumi LAB by ONLINE 2021,” as a case study. The emergence workshop is defined as a way to encourage co-creating new ideas and visions with others through interactive and participatory group discussions. Features of this method are that it does not require establishing a common topic and it develops free discussions without detailed directions. For this study, an online event was held and group work was conducted by high school students using the emergence workshop approach.
As a result, students’ opinions were encountered through free interaction. Completely different topics were generated by each group. Furthermore, unique discussions ensued. Within the large framework of thinking about the future in 2030, it was possible to converge various opinions, even if the same methodology was used in each group. The results of the questionnaire completed by researchers who facilitated each group’s discussions showed that even young faculty members at universities with little experience in ESD could provide high-quality ESD to high school students using this method. We believe that this study presents a new approach to online ESD. As a future study, we plan to further expand the workshop design and group work facilitation, and consider more effective emergence workshop practices.
