DENTSU SOKEN INC. Active Learning "How About This?" Research Institute, together with Daiichi Gakuin High School, received the Judges' Special Award in the "Global Education Initiatives" category for their "Connecting with Society Lecture Series: Global Lessons."
The contest solicits works and case studies useful for implementing global education—education aimed at developing talent with a global perspective—in two categories: "Photography" and "Global Education Initiatives."
In fiscal year 2016, there were 203 entries in the "Photography Category" and 77 entries in the "Global Education Initiatives Category," totaling 280 entries.
DENTSU SOKEN INC. Active Learning "How About This?" Research Lab conducted a class at Daiichi Gakuin High School that taught global concepts not by focusing on distant overseas locations, but through exploring "the appeal of Japan" and "commonalities between the world and Japan."
