the purpose
In addition to regularly holding ``English and Cross-Culture Webinars'' where young people ranging from high school to university students have discussions in English with foreign researchers, we also conduct ``English Presentation Contest'' to improve the use of ICT and presentation skills in English. We aim to improve our skills and develop critical thinking skills with a multifaceted perspective.
In addition, in collaboration with the United Nations Association of Japan, we will hold the regional preliminary round of the junior high school essay contest and the high school student argument contest, as well as give presentations in Japanese about international exchange, international friendship, and the society and culture of Japan and Okinawa to foreigners living in the prefecture. We will hold a "Japanese Speech Contest" to promote mutual understanding and friendship.
