Activities Related to Global Citizenship and the Culture of Peace and Nonviolence

◇ Peace Education in Cambodia

Since the 2023 academic year, we have initiated short-term overseas training programs to Cambodia. Last year, three students participated, and in the 2024 academic year, seven students took part. Through visits to the Landmine Museum of the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) and a lecture by Chairperson Mr. Chea Nol of Bayon Secondary and High School about the harsh life during the civil war and its history, the students deepened their understanding of peace.

◇ University Special Lecture by Faculty of Tokiwa University

Our grade11 students take classes called “University Special Lecture”, given by faculty members of Tokiwa University with the aim of “giving the students intellectual experiences difficult to have in high school. Keiko Tomita, the president of Tokiwa University, is a former UN official involved in the formulation of the SDGs, and Kazuya Oseki associate professor at Tokiwa University who specializes in “Global citizenship education”, gave the classes to the students.

 

◇ Collaborative Lessons with Mito City and Kasama City

We started collaboration with Kasama City and Mito City in 2022 to have students come up with proposals to revitalize Kasama and Mito. Students will refer to existing examples of community revitalization. Through the fieldwork, students become aware of the attractions, strengths, and resources of Kasama and Mito, and come up with proposals that make the most of them. Students consider their proposals with an emphasis on how they can involve themselves in Kasama and Mito. We then plan to make a presentation to the mayors of Kasama and Mito in March.

◇ Participation in the UNIQLO and GU “The Power of Clothing” Project

In order to achieve one of the SDGs’ goal of “leaving no one behind,” our students in club JRC, Social studies, and volunteer students worked together to collect children’s clothing. In June, UNIQLO employees gave on-site classes on refugees at the school. In October, students sorted the collected clothes into categories such as summer, winter, and baby clothes. The collected clothes will be delivered to refugee children.

Intercultural Studies and Respect for Cultural Diversity and Heritage

◇ Language Study Programs in Canada and New Zealand

Since the 2006 academic year, our institution has been promoting the development of individuals capable of thriving on the global stage by offering language study programs in Canada and New Zealand, ranging from three months to one year. During their stay, students reside in homestay arrangements with local families while attending high school. In the 2024 academic year, three students participated in a three-month program in Canada, two students in a year-long program, and four students in a three-month program in New Zealand.
