Symposium panel held at the 2025 Academic Network on Global Education and Learning (ANGEL) Conference in Berlin. Featured on the front page of the Seikyo Newspaper in Japan.

Panel session commemorating the birth anniversary of Japanese educator, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi was held on June 6th. The session included discussions on the theory and current global practice of value-creating education, an approach to curriculum that emerged in 1930s Japan in response to an increasingly militaristic educational system focused on creating subjects of the state rather than contributive citizens of local and global communities.
