The importance of “Information Literacy” under VUCA

2023.08.12

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a set of international development goals from 2016 to 2030, which was adopted by the UN Sustainable Development Summit taking place in September 2015 building on the success of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

 “Sustainable Development Goals” consisting of 17 goals in order to eliminate poverty and make a sustainable world come true. The SDGs are universal goals applicable, not only to developing countries but also developed countries based on the basic principle, which is “Leave no one behind.” through the implementation process.

Education is one of important elements for all goals.

SDGs defines “Quality Education” on No. 4 goal, which implies everyone can have an opportunity to receive a certain level of education.

Despite of the principle of SDGs, people sometimes lose opportunities due to the lack of progress on other number of goals.

The lack of opportunity to receive education is not only issue of opportunity to learn, but also an issue of skill to live under information society.

Our institute supplied opportunity for free to enhance “information literacy” skills to university students. In 2022, our institute held the literacy school in Shibuya and university students from various background utilize the opportunity for their career.

In this summer, we will hold the summer school in Karuizawa for student of IISIA’s clients form 6th to 9th of September.

We will enforce education and put influence on other SDGs targets.
