The instructor wants to develop a learning community on the topic of creating a collaborative learning community. Last year this class was held by online and learned together about "Night and Fog" by V. Frankl. What we will read this year is not decided.
The aim is to encourage students to cultivate the foundation for future life by reading classical text, facilitating collaborative learning each other, and cultivating mindfulness.
Students will learn to facilitate the creative space where honest, alive conversations would happen.
Students will learn the basic skill of mindfulness for caring their body, breath, and mind, so that they can be aware of the present moment not in the past or future.
