PROGRAM
Shimoda is the place where Japan, after nearly 300 years of free relations
with the outside world, has finally taken its place on the international stage.
In this isolation, unable to learn about the situation abroad even if they wanted to, many young people, including Yoshida Shoin and Fukuzawa Yukichi, felt a sense of irritation. Still, they also had a strong desire to learn about the situation abroad and make Japan a more open country.
I imagine that they gazed upon the American warship "Black Ships" floating in Shimoda Bay. The "Workshop in Shimoda (WIS)" will be held again this year in Shimoda on the Izu Peninsula, which has such an international spirit.
It is aimed at students with a high school graduation level of knowledge.
It will focus on the main theme of regional revitalization (SDGs),
which will become a central concept in Japanese society in the future. The workshop will learn about Japan's and local efforts, understand the situation and issues through fieldwork, and seek clues to solve problems through discussion. We are looking for global and unique people who want to do this. It is an experiential workshop that can also help you find the direction of your future life.
You will be awarded a WIS completion certificate
at the end of the workshop.
You can also participate in this as an internship or
experiential learning at each university.
