Message from the Dean
- Program Objectives in Hokkaido University

Professor Dr Takashi MIYAZAKI,
Dean of Faculty of Education,
Hokkaido University

Thank you for joining us at the Hokkaido Summer Institute/ESD Campus Asia Pacific. This year's
Hokkaido Summer Institute will offer over 150 courses across Hokkaido University, and over 160
researchers from around the world will present their cutting-edge findings. Since its establishment
in 2012, ESD Campus Asia Pacific, initiated by the Faculty of Education together with our overseas
partner schools, has provided the opportunities for participating students to meet learning and researchpeers, and to find colleagues who are worthy of their trust as they confront the modern world together.
The courses offered by the School of Education focus on learning to build a peaceful and inclusive
society. Each subject focuses on a serious issue brought about by the historical change of globalization.
These are the fundamental problems of contemporary society: how to locate human existence on an
expanded spatial and temporal axis that has never existed before.
All these questions are not so easy to answer. However, as we have been experiencing the pandemic
since last year, we have had unprecedented opportunity for reflections in our respective social andcultural situations. It is often said that in times of crisis, previously hidden vulnerabilities are exposed.
We are witnesses to a time of historical upheaval.
I sincerely hope that this forum, where we can bring together our knowledge and learn from eachother's experiences, will not only be an opportunity for you to grow as a leader who can open up new
frontiers in these turbulent times, but also an important step toward international solidarity in which
we can learn together.

1Message from the Chair of Committee of International Affairs- Program Objectives in Hokkaido University

Dear Participants,

Professor Dr Keiko IKEDA
Chair of Committee of International Affairs
Faculty of Education, Hokkaido University“Modern Olympism” was created by Pierre de Coubertin more than 120 years ago. It is historicallythe earliest educational philosophy with respect to raising the cosmopolitan idea of “world peace”
and “respect for fundamental human rights” beyond nationality, similar to the current idea of SDGs tosome extent. However, it is no other than “idealism” in the sense that Olympism has not been attained
yet, having been interrupted by hundreds of wars including two World Wars and various “crash of
Barbarisms”, the words which were provided by a French theorist, Gilbert Achcar.
Another upheaval is “the spread of COVID-19”. When we planned the ESD Campus Asia Pacific
Program two years ago, the subtitle, “Olympism, Diversity and Innovation” was not associated withthe world confusion brought about by the pandemic. We replaced this topic last year as “the spreadof COVID-19” has affected everyone’s overall daily and social life and the Tokyo Olympic Gamewas eventually suspended. We still confront this issue. However, we decided to implement the online“ESD Campus Asia Pacific Program 2021” and newly launched “ESD Leaders Global Education for
Sustainable Development Initiatives 2021” with the above planned subtitle, because it is due time to
discuss “Diversity and Innovation” through “the pros and cons of the Modern Olympic Games” withthe lens of Post-Coronavirus society. The two online Programs for 2021 will provide three lectures inreal time online and two on-demand lectures during the period with discussion in group work. We will
have three lectures which international scholars, Martin Polley (the UK), Russell Field (Canada) andMalcolm MacLean (the UK and New Zealand) provide, focussing on the topics, “Olympics before
Olympism: the British experience”, “sport for development and peace, a sport for good” and “sport
and indigenous people in the sphere of international sports”. Hokkaido University teaching staff will
also provide the topics regarding SDGs: “Paralympic Games and changes in urban accessibility” and“health and physical fitness”. Participants will encompass undergraduate and graduate students fromvarious countries and wider continents.
I wish this joining of nationalities of lecturers and participants will contribute to more understandingof the current issues requiring international collaborative education.
Let’s enjoy this new online experience together with the local students in Sapporo during theSummer Institute period 2021.

Lecture 1
Olympics before Olympism: the British experience, c1612-2021
Professor Martin Polley
Director, International Centre for Sports History and Culture
De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
Abstract
The concept of Olympism is closely linked to the International Olympic Committee’s version of Olympic
Games. These have been the most successful sports in the modern period to have borrowed the name of themost famous athletic festival of ancient Greece. However, they were not the first sports to claim a legacy
from ancient Greece, and a study of other sporting events that have used the name can teach us alterative
lessons about diversity and innovation in sports history. This lecture will explore some of the sporting
festivals that took place before the IOC was formed in 1894 and that used the name Olympic, Olimpick, orOlympian. Concentrating on examples from Great Britain, it will look at them in the context of their time andplace to understand what they involved, who they were for, and what innovations their organisers made overtime. It will also explore those Games that have survived to the twenty first century, notably the Cotswold
Olimpicks and the Wenlock Olympian Games, and will consider their relationship with the IOC’s version of
Olympic Games. The lecture will argue that ‘Olympism’ has meant different things at different times, andwill raise questions about the ownership and control of the word ‘Olympic’.

Sustainable development goals, sport for development and peace,and 150 years of “sport for good”
Associate Professor Russell Field
Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management,
University of Manitoba, Canada
Abstract
In October 2015, the United Nations announced a series of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),“Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” With the challenges of climatechange and environmental degradation taking centre stage, the aim of the SDGs is for the international
community to achieve these goals by 2030. Sport was included within the framework of the SDGs in
Article 37, which reads: “Sport is also an important enabler of sustainable development. We recognize thegrowing contribution of sport to the realization of development and peace in its promotion of tolerance andrespect and the contributions it makes to the empowerment of women and of young people, individuals andcommunities as well as to health, education and social inclusion objectives.”
The incorporation of sport within the SDGs encouraged the globalization and institutionalization of thepractice of sport-for-development (or, as it is often called, “sport for development and peace” [SDP]) andthe growth of the organizations – often non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that deliver SDP programs.
Such initiatives are based on a long-standing belief that sport offers more than physical benefits, but can also
contribute to social and economic well-being as well as community development.
This idea that the institution of sport could be a social change project where the practices of sport could
serve social ends dates to the 19th century. While modern SDP initiatives use sport programming to support
development aims, 19th-century reformers largely believed in a wider conception of “sport-for-good.”
From the outset, organized sport was in fact a series of projects or interventions in the industrializing andcolonizing countries of Great Britain, Western Europe, and North America. Organizers were in effect giving
meanings to sport that we now take for granted.
This lecture explores the growth of sport-for-development programs and their role in achieving the UN’s
Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond outlining the nature of such interventions, we will explore thehistorical organizations of using sport in this way and consider the critiques of contemporary SDP. This
two-hour session will include small group discussions, interspersed between four short lectures, which willconsider:• The ways in which SDP NGOs contribute to the achievement of the SDGs
• The history of organizations and institutions using “sport for good”• Contemporary critiques of SDP• The role of the Olympic Movement in the SDP sector

Sport, sustainability & mega-events: the case of the Olympics
Malcolm MacLean
Honorary Associate Professor, University of Queensland
Honorary Research Fellow, International Centre for Sports History andCulture, De Montfort University
Senior Research Associate, University of Gibraltar
Abstract
Sustainability has become one of the ‘buzz words’ of the first quarter 21st century, and like many ‘buzz
words’ its critical components are at risk of becoming increasingly undermined by absorption into a global
political and economic order it implicitly and explicitly critiques. This session will draw on the Sustainable
Development Goals to explore the meaning and limits of sustainability in sport, using the Olympic games asa case of a mega-event where discourses of sustainability have been invoked. The session will explore theextent to which sporting mega-events are compatible with the objectives of sustainability and sustainable
development.
The session will have three elements, run as discrete but interlinked components to build to anunderstanding of the notion of sustainability in development and the limits of current approaches, bothconceptually and in practice. The session will be structured to include both ‘lecture’ and group discussion
components, where that discussion will be framed by specific questions leading to a deeper criticalunderstanding of the relationship between the SGDs, notions of sustainability, mega-sport events andcommunity needs.
Element 1: Introducing sustainability and the SDGs
Drawing on key components of the SDGs, this component will consider the meanings of and limits
to sustainability, and begin to explore questions of scale and systemic limitations as well as questions oftechnical and social characteristics and of scalability of responses.
Element 2: Sustainable sporting mega-events
In this component we will consider two key faultlines running through discourses and practices associatedwith sustainability in mega-events. The first relates to the sustainability of the event itself, and of the event in
its wider social context, that is, this will be a discussion of event and community sustainabliity. The second
explores the tension between elite or performance sport and participation sport and physical activity inrelation to the expectations associated with the SDGs.
Element 3: Sustainability, sport and Indigenous peoples
This component shifts focus to consider the obligations of mega-event organisers to Indigenous peoples inwhose territories the events are being held. Drawing primarily on Canadian cases the discussion will draw on
the previous consideration of sustainability and wider social contexts to consider the specific obligations toFirst Peoples.
Each ‘element’ will include both a lecture component and break out to smaller groups for discussion
and further exploration of the issues. The session will end with a discussion of the multiple meanings ofsustainability, including the problems and impacts of measurement.

On-demand Lecture 1
Health and Physical Fitness
Associate Professor Takahiro Yunoki, Hokkaido University
Abstract
In this lecture, I would like to consider "healthy life," which is included in Goal 3 of the SDGs (“Ensure
healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”), in relation to physical fitness and physical activity.
Physical fitness is a general term for the various physical elements required to perform daily activities,
occupations, and sports. While physical fitness is composed of many different elements, this lecture will
focus on cardiorespiratory endurance (whole-body endurance). This is because cardiorespiratory endurance
is not only a physical fitness component that determines the sports performance of athletes, but also an
important physical fitness component that is related to the health of all people. It is widely recognized thatphysical activity is effective in maintaining and improving cardiorespiratory endurance and maintaining
health. However, lack of physical activity (physical inactivity) is currently spreading worldwide, and the
pandemic of new coronavirus infections is presumed to be accelerating that spread. In recent years, physicalinactivity has been recognized as a risk factor contributing to death from lifestyle-related diseases, along withsmoking, obesity, and hypertension. In 2018, the World Health Organization released the Global Action Planof Physical Activity (GAPPA) 2018-2030, which sets a goal of reducing the number of physically inactive
people by 15% by 2030.
In this lecture, I will talk about the relationship between cardiorespiratory endurance fitness, physicalactivity, and health from the perspective of exercise physiology. I would like the participants to think froma broader perspective about measures to ensure sufficient physical activity for all people (i.e., measures toensure a healthy life for all people).

On-demand Lecture 2
Paralympic Games and Changes in Urban Accessibility:
Re-thinking the sustainable development of the city by the Paralympics
Associate Professor, Takashi Yamasaki, Hokkaido University
Abstract
The theme of this lecture is the Paralympic Games and the sustainable development of the host city. In
particular, I would like to focus on improvement of the accessibility environment of the host city by the
Paralympics, and consider how the Paralympics will change the city.
Accessibility is the removal of barriers for people with disabilities. Recently, the concept is not limited toaiding people with disabilities, but also covers difficulties in transportation. Since the 1990s, host cities havebeen actively working to improve the accessibility. An accessible environment is an important aspect in theplanning for Paralympic games. Now, the Paralympic Games are considered a great opportunity to improve
the accessibility of the host city and these transformations are regarded as its legacy.
In this lecture, I will summarize the Paralympics and accessibility of cities from a historical andsociological perspective. The presentation aims to clarify how the host city's accessibility improvement
measures have been transformed by hosting the Paralympic Games. Specifically, the objectives are to (1)compare the urban accessibility during the 1964 Tokyo Paralympic Games and the Tokyo Paralympic Games
in 2020, (2) show the characteristics of the improvement of accessibility in host city in the 1990s and 2000s.
Finally, I would like to clarify the problems and dilemmas in the accessibility of cities and rethink thesustainable development of cities by hosting the Paralympics.
