Let's talk about the world, here in Soka — Dokkyo University students × the Mayor of Soka

What you saw abroad, what you felt on exchange, the cultures you met.
Why not bring what the world taught you back to the future of Soka?

Drawing on their own experiences of other cultures and of international exchange, students will present the questions they want to put to middle school students, along with an outreach class to go with them.

They will then talk directly with Yuriko Yamakawa, Mayor of Soka, and think about the future of the city from a student's point of view.

"I want to turn what I learned abroad into someone else's learning"
"I want to think about my community and about society"
"I want to talk to the mayor face to face"

You are just as welcome to come for the roundtable alone. We look forward to seeing you there!

[Presentation theme]
"Let me tell Soka's middle school students about meeting another culture"
— What kind of outreach class would you build out of that experience? —

Starting from your own experience — studying abroad, international exchange, roots outside Japan — you will design the class you would want to give to the middle school students of the future.
