In the age of AI, when our notions of what it means to be human is being challenged and reconfigured, what kind of education is needed for personal, social and systemic well-being and flourishing? ​ To explore this question, this think tank will weave together the emerging interdisciplinary field of contemplative education and contemplative studies, with leading scholars and practitioners in the field. We focus in particular on the potentials of Social Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning) as a framework and methodology for educating the heart, mind and body to cultivate resilience, awareness and compassion as systemic foundations in a time of technological and social change. We consider how this framework and curriculum can be skillfully implemented in the Japanese cultural context, and directions for future research and collaboration. We explore what insights can be gained from the Japanese socio-cultural and philosophical context for the wider global movement of contemplative education and SEE Learning.  This think tank officially launches the Centre for Contemplative Studies - a centre for contemplative research and practice, dialogue, community building, regenerative innovation, and systemic change through education. We welcome participants to connect, reflect, and envision our work in this moment together.
