UKM Global Webinar Series – Transdisciplinary Education and the Growth of Global Citizens

Date : 28 September 2021 (Tuesday)
Time : 10.00 a.m (GMT +8)
Registration : https://tinyurl.com/tifoukm2 (via Zoom Platform)

Webinar Information Website: https://www.ukm.my/pha/tifowebinar/
Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/OIRUKM/

The focus of this webinar will be on the sharing of insights and points of view of various distinct speakers addressing the need for transdisciplinary understanding to be incorporated into the education system. The Sustainable Development Goals for example cuts across various fields of studies and is applicable to all walks of life. Transdisciplinary understanding needs to strongly be explored especially in the process of creating global citizens. Ultimately, transdisciplinary education goes further by helping students grow and learn at a deeper level where students do not compartmentalize learning, but rather explore content within the context of the inquiry, far beyond their comfort zone.
