Seminar on Human Rights

Code:G2B45904 / Instructor:KOIKE Yohei

Course Description

In this seminar, students think about the problem awareness they have from the perspective of basic human rights in a practical format.

 To begin, the first practical session gives an outline of the relationship between human rights and coexistence. The second and third sessions deepen students’ awareness of problems and explore relevant literature (see the References section below for a list of this literature). In the fourth and following sessions, students present, debate, and organize their opinions into a report. Through presentation, debate, and report-writing, students acquire problem discovery and solving abilities and communication capabilities.
