Thank you for visiting this “Collaborative Sustainability Education” blog by me, Hisayo, who is an international student of the Master of Education, Education for Sustainability at the University of British Columbia.

My interest in the education for sustainability is how education effectively changes society, especially, adults, be more sustainable/eco-friendly.  I think collaborative sustainability education – flexibly mixing different disciplinaries depending on the stakeholders – is effective. Every human is different and unique: even the same person changes her/his believe system and her/his priority for her/his decision depending on his/her different stage/condition of life.  Therefore, there is not only one correct sustainability education.

I appreciate sharing your knowledge and thoughts in this blog with constructive manner.

Everyone is a teacher and learner.  I am definitely a life-long student and learning something from someone and something in the variety of situations everyday.  We learn something in informal educational environment: I notice that most of things that I have learnt are not from academic setting educational environment.  So, the small thing that you think might be a big discovery for me.

Everything and everyone is a part of nature and connects each other.  Everything affects each other directly or indirectly, good or bad, small or big, you Iike the idea or not. Everything is part of nature and our existence is part of lifecycle.

My focus area is not only Vancouver, but also any urban areas where my heart is called.
