An education based on cooperation, not competition. | Jason McEvoy | TEDxOtemachiED

Jason McEvoy believes education should be sustainable. As a practitioner who used to experience unsustainable education firsthand, he points out what is fundamentally wrong with the current system and proposes an alternative. Jason McEvoy is a dedicated and enthusiastic environmentalist, with a broad range of research interests including cognitive, and environmental psychology, linguistics, and education. He works at Sophia university, in Tokyo, where he encourages students to think critically about global issues and reassess and adapt their perspectives towards a more sustainable direction. His current passion is researching the interactive relationship between human cognition and the environment.
