南区こども大学 2019の一環として、ペットボトルを素材に子ども達がアート作品を作るSDGsデザインスクール・ワークショップを開催しました。子ども達は小さな努力から、環境をより持続可能なものにできることを作りながら学びました。
シンガポールの中学校でデザインを教えていた教員が英語で行いました。子ども達にとっては英会話に触れる良い機会となりました。手を動かすワークショップなので、子どもや保護者の方が少し英語がわかる程度であれば、内容を理解し楽しく参加することができました。
SDGsデザインスクールは、九州大学大学院芸術工学研究院SDGsデザインユニットの活動の一つで、子どもから大人まで広く市民のみなさんを対象に、SDGs（持続可能な開発目標）に対してデザインの領域で何ができるのか伝える教育活動です。
