. They came up with interesting ideas one after another. - I found that the attitude towards the workshop of English speakers was very active. - I could know WCU students' various innovative ideas from this workshop. - WCU students have good ideas. I'm glad to communicate with WCU students. - WCU students are very kind to us. I could talk with them freely. - Japanese students tend to not have enough opportunities to talk with foreign people in their daily lives. So this Hiroshima University - WCU event became very good opportunity to talk with people from different cultural background and enjoy having communication. - It was a good opportunity to talk with foreign people - I had assumed that

might look like. In §2, I outline the scenario-based teaching approachdeveloped by Anthony Weston, a philosophy educator well-known for his innovative lessonplans. A more specific method emerges by considering Thi Nguyen’s philosophical theory ofgames, which he describes as an art form which works on human agency; in §3, I presentNguyen’s account and use it to extend Weston’s approach. In §4, I illustrate the approach bypresenting an actual lesson that I used in a seminar course on engineered living materials.Teaching materials from this class session are included in the Appendix. §5 concludes.2.

creativity and originality and prefer ahands-on learning environment. Felder, et. al. (2002) have argued that thinker-type students usually do better inrelatively impersonal engineering environment, while feeler-type students are more likely to drop out ofengineering majors because they tend to value more socially important works. Intuitor-type students prefercreative and innovative works more than sensor-type students to, and the “intuitors” also tend to obtain higherGPA than those “sensors” in engineering schools. These results have revealed that we need to change thetraditional engineering teaching methodology in order to retain students with disadvantaged learning styles inthe current learning environment.2.2.3.

Before Results: Diverse Perspectives and DefinitionsThe initial findings before the teaching method were used reveal a rich tapestry of perspectiveson sustainability. Participants articulated sustainability as a multifaceted concept, encompassingthe ability to fulfill needs consistently, maintaining stability, and innovating without harm to theenvironment. Participants acknowledged the importance of conserving the environment, meetingpresent needs without sacrificing the future, and saving the environment for future generations.However, uncertainty was evident in responses marked by phrases like "I don't know," reflectingthe complexity of the concept. 1.1.2.

makingtheir values salient, leaders activate those aspects of their self-concepts (identities, beliefs,attitudes) to which their followers can relate. By creating the relatedness of the self-concepts,leaders and followers form a collective identity that then aids in motivating and regulating thefollowers’ behavior [24].Complexity Leadership Theory, another non-traditional approach to leadership, argues forleadership seen as a “system of dynamic, unpredictable agents that interact with each other incomplex feedback networks” [25]. Leadership that emerges from such complex systems canfocus on adaptation (producing change, knowledge dissemination, learning, and innovation),administration (producing formalized plans of action), or enabling (minimizing
