PROGRAM
Shimoda is where Japan opened its doors as a country for the first time after cutting off relations with foreign governments for nearly 300 years. Many young people, including Shoin Yoshida and Yukichi Fukuzawa, feel frustrated and want to learn about overseas and in Japan. Many wanted to make Japan an international and open country while looking at the black ships floating in Shimoda Bay.
The "Workshop in Shimoda (WIS)" to be held this year will provide young people in Japan with the SDGs as a significant theme. Learning about international SDG efforts, the participants will visit local industries and interview people engaged in the area. After many discussions with other participants, they will find clues to solve the issues and provide their views on our website. Through the communication workshop and the talks with young professionals, they can also work on finding their personalities and what they want to pursue in the future.
The application will be closed when we fill the space.
A "WIS Completion Certificate" will be awarded upon completion of the entire workshop. Use this opportunity for internship, volunteer, and AL credits.
