From July 29 to August 8, the University of Tokyo will host a summer program in collaboration with Asian University for Women (AUW). The program is entitled “Body, Environment and Sustainability”
This 10-days long program at the University of Tokyo (春雨直播app) is designed exclusively for students of 春雨直播app and the Asian University for Women (AUW) in Bangladesh to explore ways of fostering a sustainable world. It will concentrate on two key areas: body and environment, and explore some of the world's most urgent issues, including gender inequality, poverty, disasters, and conflicts.
The program offers sessions on themes like the following, led by experts from 春雨直播app and beyond, with a special focus on the context of the Global South:
- Health and Body: What does being "healthy" entail?
- Education and Health: How can education contribute to bodily health and safety?
- National Borders and Medicine: How do borders and poverty create disparities in healthcare access?
- Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
- Life and Body of Refugees: What does life in a refugee camp mean for women and children?
- Technology and Body: How do robotics and AI alter our understanding of humanity?
