This international joint program was implemented in collaboration with the Shared Campus theme “Critical Ecologies,” which examines and exchanges opinions on environmental and ecology conservation and the state of a sustainable society. It was held as a pilot version of education and research that deals with ecology and environmental issues from an artistic perspective. Faculty from the UK, Australia, and India, and faculty in charge of the Shared Campus operations joined with students to learn about the ecological perspective of traditional Japanese crafts and practices of community regeneration through lectures, workshops and a mountain village site visit. On the final day, a student-organized forum was held to share experiences and discuss artistic methodologies related to environmental issues.
