2025 Annual Report

Our school conducts educational practices based on the founding principle of “Mastering Practical Learning” (cultivating individuals who contribute to society), the school’s fundamental theme of “A Middle and High School Learning Community Valuing Peace, People, and the Environment,” and the Yosei Collaborative Education approach of “Thinking for Oneself and Acting Independently with Peers.” This aligns with the key areas of focus for UNESCO Associated Schools: “Global Citizenship and a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence,” “Sustainable Development and Sustainable Lifestyles,” and “Intercultural Learning and Respect for Cultural Diversity and Heritage.” We intend to continue our collaborative education in the 2026 academic year, aiming to nurture our irreplaceable students into individuals equipped with the humanity (character) necessary to build a “society where we live together” with people worldwide and within our local community.

In May, coinciding with the UN Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference, two high school students were dispatched to the UN to deliver speeches in English, appealing for nuclear abolition with the spirit of Hiroshima, the site of the atomic bombing. The school has continuously conducted a nuclear abolition signature campaign for 18 years, submitting the signatures to the UN.

In March, we held a Peace Candle event on campus. We also conducted a similar activity in the 2024 academic year. This time, we lit candles spelling out “PEACE FOR ALL & REMEMBER 3.11.” Amidst the chaos of the ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the uncertain prospects for a ceasefire in Gaza, students themselves planned and ran the event, conveying their hopes for peace through the candles. Including “3.11” not only addresses war but also marks the 14th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, ensuring the disaster is not forgotten. Many club members participated, sending thoughts to war zones and disaster-affected areas.

Furthermore, every 11th of the month is designated as a “Day to Send Thoughts to Disaster Areas.” Led by the Student Council Executive Committee, members stand at the school entrance from early morning, calling on all students to join. This initiative, combined with exchanges with disaster victims, has been ongoing for 15 years.

The school also continuously runs the “Nuclear Abolition! Signature Campaign by Hiroshima Junior and Senior High School Students.” Once a month, students stand in front of Fukuyama Station collecting signatures demanding all nations ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. To date, they have submitted approximately 700,000 signatures to the United Nations. This effort will continue, aiming to foster a sense of global citizenship among students who will shape the future world.

 

Annual Work Plan

Our school, in the 26th academic year, remains steadfast in its founding principle of “Mastering Practical Learning” (cultivating individuals who contribute to society). Guided by our institutional foundation—“A Middle and High School Learning Community Valuing Peace, People, and the Environment”—and our Yōshin Collaborative Education philosophy—“Thinking for oneself and acting independently alongside peers”—we implement educational practices aligned with UNESCO Associated Schools’ key focus areas: We will continue our collaborative education in the 26th academic year to nurture our irreplaceable students into individuals equipped with the character necessary to build a society where people live together with others globally and locally. Building on our ongoing signature campaigns, we will also enhance the quality of academic exhibits at our school festival, the “Eishin Thanksgiving Festival,” and pursue initiatives that contribute to real-world society aligned with “Peace, People, and Environment.”
