Join the 2nd Information Exchange Meeting on Mobility Management Education
Introduction
In recent years, the promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the challenges associated with environmental issues and the decline of public transportation have heightened the importance of Mobility Management Education (MM Education). This approach aims to cultivate individuals who can take responsible actions regarding their mobility from a perspective that prioritizes people, society, and the environment. Thus, we will hold a second information exchange meeting focused on MM Education, following the success of last year’s event.
Purpose
The meeting serves as a platform for sharing knowledge about MM Education and creating opportunities for various stakeholders to connect. It will include discussions on the significance and effects of MM Education and presentations of various initiatives related to it. If you are interested in MM Education or are looking to collaborate, we encourage you to participate and bring along others who share the same interest!
