Message to Prospective Students
Sustainable futures are something we create together. We need to learn from each other, collaborate to find a leverage point, and take action to transform the interdependent system. We are responsible for the present and future generations on this planet. Lifelong learning is the key to the well-being of yourself and society because we can modify our behavior and develop our perspectives as a result of learning. University education is not the end of your learning. You can find a lot of opportunities to learn something new from the SPSF lectures, seminars, and friends. Sophia Univesity SPSF provides such an interdisciplinary course in Tokyo!
