Record of Our Activities

 On March 19th, nine students, divided into three groups, took part in SGH KOSHIEN in 2017 to compete.  At the competition, they were able to see how well they would give presentations about their research.

234 groups from 84 high schools joined this competition and gave their presentation about research themes of various global problems.  Our students also gave a presentation about what they had researched for a year.  Through this competition, they found that there were various ways of thinking or doing research according to the differences of regions or values.  They also learned the differences of dealing with the same topics.

From now they are going to deepen their research and give a presentation in English in the third-year SG Practical Research.

[the participants’ comments]

＊The competition was more stimulating than I had expected.  All the students I met there researched social problems with passion.  I was excited to discuss with the students.  We gave our presentation on the assumption that in spite of one-sixth of Japanese people suffering from poverty, most Japanese people don’t know about the reality.  However, students from Osaka thought about poverty more seriously and researched more deeply.

＊What I learned during the competition was the importance of positive action.  I was very surprised at the great efforts of some groups and their wonderful presentations.  Every participant must have thought it obsolete to say that they were too young to do something important.  I can imagine easily that the participants will mature to become leaders among global citizens all over the world.
