• • • • 世界的いじめ反対運動 「ピンクシャツデーとは・・・」 2007年カナダの二人の学生から瞬く間に世界中に広まった世界的いじめ反対運動。 ピンクのシャツを来て登校した少年が「ゲイ」だといじめられた。それを見た二人の学生が75枚のピンクのシャツを友人・知人に配り翌日登校した。 学校では呼び掛けに賛同した多数の生徒がピンクのTシャツを着て登校。学校中がピンク色に染まり、いじめが自然となくなった。 このエピソードがSNS等で世界中に広まり現在では70ヵ国以上の国で活動が行われている。カナダでは毎年2月最終水曜日がPink Shirt Dayとして定められている。 What is PINK SHIRT DAY? It is a worldwide bullying opposition movement that was created thanks to the

What’s wrong with our work being hard? Why does a task being difficult cause stress? What’s so bad about not succeeding?

For the uninitiated, Third Culture Kids (TCKs for short) are individuals who have spent their formative years growing and adapting to a culture other than the one they were born
The IB Learner Profile includes the attribute of balance. Students have joked to me that it’s painfully ironic when teachers preach balance and in the same breath announce taxing summative
グローバル化が進み、外国に対する壁というものがほとんどなくなった現代社会で必要なことは国際感覚を身に付けるということだとよく言われます。その為にはまず、自分と違う人々やその文化を受け入れ、認めることが大切です。日本にいながら、海外にいた時と同じように自分とは異なる文化や習慣を持つ様々なスタッフや生徒と関わりながら仕事ができるこの素晴らしい環境は私にとって国際感覚を身につける絶好の機会だと感じています。この事は私だけではなく日本人生徒にも当てはまり、英語に溢れ日本の学校では経験できないような色々な国籍の人々や文化が集まる環境で学びたい、国際感覚を身につけたいと考えている生徒にとっても大阪YMCAインターナショナルスクールはぴったりの学校ではないでしょうか。
世界と比べて秀でているのは日本人の「カスタマイズ(customization)技術」能力だと私は考えています。
さて、近年、そうした食生活に環境保護の点から見直しを迫る動きがあります。それは「肉」です。世界的に肉の消費量が増えていくなか、環境への負荷という点から、このままでは食肉の生産は限界を迎えるそうです。そこで、植物由来の「代替肉」を使う動きが広がっています。また、細胞を増殖して作る「培養肉」の研究も進んでいます。特に「代替肉」については、ヴィーガン食専門店などで、すでに口にした人もいるでしょう。
多様な食生活の選択肢の一つとして「代替肉」を食べる人は今後増えていくでしょう。ただ、食肉が問題視される原因となった大量生産と大量消費という行動を見直さなければ、「代替肉」も食肉と同じ運命をたどることになりかねません。私たちの食生活・食文化が、環境とどのような「つながり」をもっているのか。
