On Wednesday, February 26, 2025, we held a reflection meeting on the Okinawa/Ishigaki training titled “Let’s talk about the SDGs in English”.
In addition to the 6th cohort of NipCA fellows who participated in the training, the meeting was attended by 5th cohort NipCA fellows, Professor Usuyama, Professor Yamakawa, Associate Professor Yamamoto, Mr. Katsumata from The Nippon Foundation, and NipCA Project staff.
Under the guidance of Associate Professor Yamamoto, eight participants reported their thoughts and impressions based on their respective themes (such as the Yaeyama Museum, Ishigaki Island Beach Hotel Sunshine, Yaeyama Commercial High School, and SDGs initiatives on Ishigaki Island). There was a question-and-answer session for each presentation, and there was a lively exchange of opinions that exceeded the scheduled time.
Through the meeting, it was strongly felt that the participating NipCA fellows had a fulfilling time, gaining many learnings and insights through diverse cross-cultural experiences.
