Record of Our Activities

2018 JCI Conference in Kanazawa

On February 18th, representatives from the Junior Chamber Incorporated (JCI) all over the Asian-Pacific region gathered at a conference in Kanazawa.  The third-year students in the SG course got up on the stage to do a speech in English.

The conference was held to promote activities and research whose goal is to achieve the SDGS.  The third-year students in the SG course have learned about the SDGs while working on their research. 
The students presented their research with a lot of confidence and added some humor occasionally.  We will continue to ask the people at the Junior Chamber for future cooperation and continue our research to achieve the SDGs.


SDGs Lecture

On February 14th, Mr. Ryobun Santou from Musashi High School was invited to give a lecture on the SDGs.  The second-year students in the SG course listened to the lecture.
  
In the lecture, the students ate and compared the chocolates that are made by using palm oil and chocolate that are made without palm oil.  Through the lecture, the students learned the situations in the Borneo Island where there are sides: people who want to save the rainforest and people who want to increase the area of palm oil plantation for profit.
  
The students also played “2030 SDGs Game” and imagined an ideal world in the future.  The lecture and the experience gave students a lot of enthusiasm to work on their research.

Connecting Research Project in High Schools and Universities

On February 11th and 12th, there was a conference at the Kanazawa Chamber of Commerce and Industry to talk about how to collaborate the research projects performed in high schools and universities in Japan.  Two students from the second-year the SG course participated.

More than 120 teachers and students participated from all over the country.  The two students from our school did a poster session on their research and had a group discussion with teachers from high school and university.  It was a good opportunity for our students to learn and realize the importance of the research they are doing.
