Message from the Dean of the Faculty of Education- the Objective of the Programs in Hokkaido University

ESD Campus Asia P acific P rogram and Summer Institute at
Hokkaido University 2016
Professor Toru ONAI
Dean of the Faculty of Education, Hokkaido University

From July 20 th to July 28 th of this year, the Faculty of Education will hold, for the firsttime, the Summer Institute (SI) and four related Open Seminars (OS). During the same
period, the ESD Campus Asia Pacific Program will be held from July 20 th to July 29 th .
The lectures and seminars of the SI and OS are intended to cultivate theunderstanding of ‘multi-lingual education’, ‘multiculturalism and coexistence’ and ‘equal
partnerships in a multi-cultural society’. These three elements are suited to the learningat the higher education level strongly required by a globalized society. The SI program,which is mainly for graduate students of Hokkaido University and other universities of
the world, will enroll graduate students from Hokkaido University, Beijing Normal
University, Chulalongkorn University, Renmin University of China, University of Scienceand Technology Beijing, and The Chinese University of Hong Kong . By contrast, the four
OS are provided for everyone without limitations on enrollment.
This year, for the SI, we have invited the four internationally renowned researchers
Professor Tessa-Morris Suzuki (Australian National University, Australia), Professor
Joseph Lo Bianco (Melbourne Graduate School of Education, Australia), Dr. Malcolm
MacLean (University of Gloucestershire, UK), and Dr. Heidi Sinevaara -Niskanen(University of Lapland, Finland), as lecturers. Meanwhile, as presenters andcommentators for the OS, we have invited the nine researchers Dr. Tom Cliff (Australian
National University, Australia), Dr. Shuge Wei (Australian National University,
Australia), Professor Chiho Ogaya (Ferris University, Japan), Researcher Mai Yoshida(The Institute of Social Theory and Dynamics, Japan), Mr. Satoshi Nishimura (MYP
Coordinator, Sapporo Kaisei Secondary School, Japan), Professor Atsuko Hagino(University of The Ryukyus, Japan), Associate Professor Aisa Kiyosue (Muroran Instituteof Technology, Japan), Professor Nachiko Kiwaki (Fuji Women’s University, Japan), and1

Professor Masumi Matsumoto (Muroran Institute of Technology, Japan). In addition, eightresearchers from Hokkaido University will join the OS as presenters and commentators:
Professor Yasuo Tsuji, Faculty of Public Policy, Associate Professor Hyun Mooam,
Research Faculty of Media and Communication, Research Fellow Svetlana Paichadze,Research Faculty of Media and Communication, and our five faculty members, Associate
Professor Tomonori Ishioka, Associate Professor Hiromichi Kato, Associate Professor
Tomoko Tsuji, Associate Professor Madoka Toriyama and Professor Takashi Miyazaki.
Meanwhile, the ESD Campus Asia Pacific Program has been created for undergraduate
students. This program started in 2011 as the ESD Campus Asia Program between
Hokkaido University and Korea University. After that, Seoul National University, Beijing
Normal University and Chulalongkorn University joined. This year the name has beenchanged to the ESD Campus Asia Pacific program because of the newly added
participation of Sakhalin State University. This program has been designed according to
the mission of Education for Sustainable Development proposed by UNESCO, and aims toencourage participants from different countries and universities to consider their firststep in acting for a sustainable and peaceful society. The keynote lecture from Professor
Tessa Morris-Suzuki will provide a comprehensive discussion on the cultural politics ofglobalization as it has developed up unto and including the current global modern society.
We then provide participants with a workshop on intercultural understandings organizedby Ms. Nanako Iwasa, and fieldwork in Biratori arranged by our colleague, Associate
Professor Jeff Gayman, in order to have them experience the challenges which a remote
Indigenous Ainu community faces and to consider how we may contribute to theimprovement of the Ainu situation. Through the lecture from Associate Professor Inna
Korneeva of Sakhalin State University, Russia, we expect for students to add theperspective of peace to their examinations of the current cross-cultural situation.
In holding these events, six members of the International Exchange Committee of ourorganization, Chairperson Professor Masao Mizuno, Professor Keiko Ikeda, Associate
Professor Jeff Gayman, Associate Professor Maiko Aoki, Associate Professor Takashi Ito
and Professor Takashi Miyazaki have conceived, organized and executed all programs andResearch Fellows Sho Tanaka, Miki Iizuka and Junko Yodono have assisted them. Without
all their efforts, these programs could not have been held.
We would like to thank all invited lecturers, presenters, organizers, members of theInternational Exchange Committee, and supporting staff.

Current Situation of Cross--c ultural Understanding in Sakhalin

Inna Korneeva
Associate Professor, Sakhalin State University
verkor73@mail.ru

In recent years, all life spheres in Russia
determinedbydemocratization

processes,thehas undergone significant changes
rejectionofmonopolistic

andmonoideological model of society that have affected all spheres of life during the long
period, but we still can't decide whether these are for better or worse.
The Russian Federation is a big country where a lot of different nations, morethan 180, have been living together for a long time and today there are 22 nationalities
with the population more than 400 000 people.
Today, every region in Russia has its own multicultural environment, each schooland each class has its own version of a multicultural space. That is why, regions face thetask to create special regional programs focusing on social, eco nomic, ethnic, cultural,
historical and other specific aspects and develop a special direction based on principles ofrespect for national and cultural features, national identity and traditions. In theseplans, the national component is linked to a unique individual, with its right for freedomof thought and conscience that fully complies with the Article 14 of the RF "Education
Law" stating that the content of education should be provided with the integration of theindividual in the system of world and national cultures.
Sakhalin is a multinational region with 45 ethnic groups living here: 409,786
ethnic Russians are the largest group, followed by 24,993 Koreans, 12,136 Ukrainians
and a whole host of smaller groups: Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, Mordovians, Armenians, Azeris,indigenous minorities: Nivkhs, Evenki, Evens, Orochi and Uilta.
Speaking about methods to open good relationships between people and between
nations we should find something as a mean to describe all details about past and futureof nation.

㸫Project PAL: Ainumosir㸫㸫Nanako IWASA
Facilitator of Workshops for Intercultural Communication
PhD student, Graduate School of Education, Hokkaido University
iwasan@edu.hokudai.ac.jp

Outline of the Workshop
This workshop introduces the students to the new perspective; “Think globally, Act
locally” providing with experiential learning on intercultural communication by
participating in a simulation game “Project PAL.” The workshop begins with learning of
the key concepts and ways for the new perspective, and then employs the simulation
game to explore the students’ understanding through participation in the game and thegroup discussion. The DVD will be screened in order to introduce the history andcurrent issues of the Ainu people.

Project PAL: Ainumosir
The simulation game, “Project PAL (Place-based Active Learning)” is an original
educational game for student groups in the workshops that engages the students infinding solution-based approaches to shared global/local concerns. Based on the “glocal”(global + local) to “Think globally, Act locally” model, the goal of the Project PAL game isto develop effective “well-being” strategies towards attaining a peaceful and sustainable
world. The “Project PAL: Ainumosir” provides an opportunity for the students to learn
about the indigenous perspectives of Ainu people, to solve their social issues in
Hokkaido, and to create the future project plans for the local Ainu community.

Nanako IWASA
She has taught intercultural communication taking a PhD course, and co-worked
with Ainu people as indigenous people of Japan in various local/international activities
over ten years. Her interests are in Ainu people, community education, indigenous
education, active learning, and intercultural communication.

organized and coordinated by Associate Professor Jeff Gayman
Background
Indigenous peoples comprise groups of people and communities who have lived in asingle place for hundreds and thousands of years. Through this experience they havedeveloped sophisticated knowledge systems intricately adapted to the particularclimactic, floral, faunal, and societal particulars of their locales, as well as to the needs
demanded by living therein, in a way that has proved to be environmentally friendly,
holistic and sustainable.

In recent years, scientists have come to pay increasing

attention to these knowledge systems, which they refer to as Traditional Ecological
Knowledge (TEK), while the role of Indigenous philosophies and knowledge systems hascome to be re-evaluated in terms of its potential value to modern man.
Educators and other thoughtful individuals, in turn, appear to be turning to thestrong bonds and sense of community visible in Indigenous and other traditionalsocieties, as a prescription for the ills of modern-day society.
However, can we say unequivocally that this “worship” of Indigenous societies is awholesome trend, or that it is justifiable? Is it proper for members of mainstream
society to look to Indigenous communities as the antidote for the plethora of ills
plaguing modern man, without any reflection upon our past conduct, characterized as it
is by processes of colonization and over-development?
From Gayman’s experience working with the Ainu in Hokkaido, the answer is anunequivocal “No”. In fact, rather isn’t the opposite true that it has been the conduct of
we members of mainstream society that has been at cause of the breakdown of
Indigenous societies and the destruction of the natural physical environments whichsustained them? We must face the fact that the actuality of many Indigenous
communities is far from being ideal—just as all societies and their traditional value
systems are threatened by the encroachment of pop culture and the market economy, so
it is with those of Indigenous societies as well. However, the difference is that the threat
to Indigenous society is propagated manifold by the struggle against low societal andeducational achievement therein resulting from the abject poverty brought about as a29

result of histories of colonization and usurpation of lands and resources. Indigenous andminority cultures and particularly languages also face the very real danger ofdisappearing from the face of the globe forever. Indigenous peoples have had to fightagainst the temptation to submit to low self-esteem, a result of pathways to successbeing blocked by societal prejudice and discrimination. Even their solidarity as
Indigenous

communities

has

been

threatenedbygovernmental

policiesofdivide-and-conquer, which turned Indigenous peoples upon one another.
What are the current problems and issues faced by Indigenous peoples and othersmall-scale societies as a result of these negative historical legacies? What haveIndigenous peoples done to overcome this situation, and what are members of
mainstream society living in the same communities as Indigenous peoples doing to workwith them, and learn from them?
As everyone is well aware, the situation of contemporary Indigenous peoples is not
all one of gloom and doom, as the legacy of the families of several of our Ainu instructors
this year demonstrates. Some Indigenous individuals and communities have, on thecontrary, taken a pinch as a chance, seizing upon these challenging conditions to findpride in their Indigenous identity. We expect that our Ainu instructors during thefieldwork will share their experiences of both the light and the dark, and both problems
and potentials of contemporary Ainu society.

Aim of the Fieldwork
The fieldwork session features two objectives which we consider to be of primary
importance to young future Asian and Pacific educators seeking to develop a teachingpractice relevant and meaningful to the 21st century: 1) to re-examine the meaning andvalue of Indigenous philosophies and thought systems for us members of modern society,and 2) to become familiar with the common issues and dilemmas faced by the Ainu, theIndigenous people of Hokkaido.
We will be participating in fieldwork in the Ainu villages of Nibutani and Nioi in
Biratori Town over the course of two days, July 24th and July 25th. Fortunately, this year,
three local youths have given their consent to share their local Ainu hunting andgathering culture with us by a hands-on indoor workshop-style activity designed toprovide food-for-thought about hunting-and-gathering traditions and their meaning in amodern world. This will be an excellent opportunity to experience Ainu culture from two
Ainu youths who have grown up practicing it since childhood, and one Wajin (ethnic
Japanese) who was forced to move to Biratori, and to think about the meaning of asustainable lifestyle, when he was driven out of the Kanto Region by the Fukushima30

Nuclear Disaster. Additionally, we will also have the rare opportunities to have a lectureand question-and-answer session with the Mayor of Biratori Town, and a lecture by
Kayano Shiro, the Director of the Kayano Shigeru Nibutani Ainu Cultural Museum, aperson passionately engaged in thinking about preservation of Ainu culture and theempowerment of the Ainu people. The fieldwork will end with a session of listening to
Ainu oral literature by Ainu Elders (or an Elder and one disciple) in the Poro Cise
(traditional Ainu large house) in Nibutani.
All of these activities will build upon the Pre-Seminar for Fieldwork and theWorkshop and Group Work of July 22nd by giving participants hands-on opportunities tomeet Ainu centrally involved in the preservation and praxis of their culture. We will the
chance to have exchange and question-and-answer sessions with these youths,
middle-aged community leaders, and Elders, as well as to hear from a central supporterof the Ainu community in Biratori Town, the Mayor, and an “environmental refugee”
who has come to re-frame his worldview after experience the Fukushima Incident andhaving come into contact with Ainu culture. Through the fieldwork, participants will
have the chance to learn directly from Ainu people and others who are working withthem and trying to learn from the Ainu culture and philosophy.

Workshop on Hunting and Gathering (Matagi Camp)
Lecturers: Monbetsu Atsushi, Honda Jun and Kaizawa Taiichi(http://matagicamp.blog.fc2.com/)
Virtual Hunting Experience Using Bow and Arrows
Instructor: Monbetsu Atsushi“Let’s Shoot Real Arrows at the ‘Deer’ Target”
We will be learning about the relation between hunting and prayer, as well as how we
can make use of the harvest of the hunt as well as plants gathered in the wild.
And, we will be using naturally harvested and gathered materials, deer antlers andikema, a wild plant, in order to make simple decorations. You can create a keyholder ora talisman just as you please. Ikema has traditionally been seen within Ainu society asa charm against evil, and is often used as an amulet or talisman.

How My “Sense of Values” Transformed After Having Moved to Biratori : Tale from a
City Boy
Instructor: Honda Jun
As someone having been raised in the big city during the period of Japan’s rapid
economic growth, I believed that not only the necessities of my daily life, but also allimportant life experiences, meetings with wonderful people, and fulfilling humanrelations could all be provided by money. That was all changed by the nuclear disaster.
Through coming to live in the village of Nibutani, where almost all residents are of
Ainu descent, I have been able to compare my previous worldview with the value stes of
the Ainu people. By being able to meet and talk with you all, I hope that we cancollectively find some hints for creating a sustainable society.

32Free Talk, Q&A and Cultural Exchange with Young Ainu
Residents
Monbetsu Atsushi, Honda Jun and Kaizawa Taiichi(Coordinated by Associate Professor Jeff Gayman)

Aim of the Activity
This session will serve as an interim session for reflecting upon the learnings gained
during the first half of fieldwork, in which the main activities were participation in theworkshop on hunting and gathering, and the lecture by the Mayor of Biratori Town. It
will also give us a chance, based on our experiences so far, to prepare questions for thelatter half, which will include a talk by a central community figure, and a session withlocal Elders, who are the most experienced living bearers of the culture.
During this cultural exchange, through a friendly talk session format with the three
young Biratori residents Monbetsu Atsushi, Honda Jun and Kaizawa Taiichi we will
have a chance to ask further questions about the afternoon sessions, and to hear frankopinions about the problems and issues of being Ainu as seen from perspective of Ainu
youth. Mr. Honda will also share with us the learning he has gleaned living in the Ainu
community of Nibutani after having undergone the eye-opening experience of being
forced from his Kanto home by the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster.

Kayano Shigeru Nibutani Ainu Cultural Museum
1) Tour, 2) Lecture by Museum Director Kayano Sh
hiro

Aim of the Activity
The Kayano Shigeru Nibutani Ainu Cultural Museum houses items collected
over five decades by the Ainu cultural icon, cultural revitalization movement leader andformer member of the Japanese Diet, Kayano Shigeru, some of which formed theoriginal collection housed at the Nibutani Ainu Cultural Museum, currently funded andrun by the Municipality of Biratori.
Visiting this museum will give us an opportunity to one, further our
understanding of how the Ainu values learned about on the first day of fieldwork
manifest through a number of material items from the Ainu culture and society; two,
gain a sense for how the literary, filmatic, cultural and political activities of one
Indigenous leader influenced larger Ainu society; and three, deepen our understandingof these same themes by a free talk and question-and-answer session with Kayano Shiro,
Shigeru’s son and the current Director of the Museum.

Monbetu Atsushi
Currently residing in Biratori
33 years old, father of three children.
Danced Ainu traditional dance from childhood until becoming anadult.
Having grown up in the mountains with a strong sense that mypeople are a hunting culture led me after becoming an adult to accompany hunters intheir activities and to obtain a gun of my own. I’m bent on becoming a real Ainu hunter !
Currently have resigned from my job working at a company and am making my living
only by hunting.
I plan to continue my work of teaching the next generation about the Ainu hunting
culture, sense of gratitude, and prayer. I still have a long way to go before I’m able to

After having experienced the nuclear disaster following the earthquake and having my

whole sense of values and everyday life thrown askew, I have been deeply moved by thespirituality of the Ainu people who lived in harmony with Nature.
Granted the degree to which our current economic system has penetrated all aspects of
our lives, it will not be realistic to return completely to the lifestyle of the past, but insearching for a sustainable mode of life, I believe that the value system of Indigenous
peoples like the Ainu can provide us many viable hints, and to that end, while currently
working at a fuel company in Biratori Town, I am immersed in learning about the Ainu
philosophy and spirituality.

Kaizawa TaichiCurrently residing in Biratori
43 years old, father of one boy.
Born and raised until high school in Nibutani Village, Biratori Town, and after that
lived in Tomakomai and Sapporo.
Employed for 16 years as a researcher at the Hokkaido Prefectural Ainu Culture
Research Center in Sapporo, where he conducted mainly surveys on Ainu life culture
centered in fieldwork in Biratori.
Due to influence from his grandfather who struggled for the autonomy and rights
recovery of the Ainu people, and from his father who continued to oppose theconstruction of the Nibutani Dam, he gained a strong sense of personal identity andpride in his Ainu heritage. Additionally, through contact with the philosophy of such
Ainu Elders as Kurokawa Setsu and others whom he met during his survey research, he
was able to succeed in fostering his own personal perspective on Ainu culture.
Currently, in order to convey the Ainu lifestyle, philosophy, values and uniquehuman-ness of the Ainu culture throughout Japan as well as to the next generation, he
is living in his hometown of Nibutani and engaging in lectures at schools, performanceof Ainu performing arts, and praxis and transmission of Ainu ceremonial, while being
employed as a farmer.
