I was born in Fukui, but spent my middle and high school years in NJ, USA. As a returnee and someone who is from a rural area, I wanted to use my background to plan an interactive workshop. I will be looking forward to talk with everyone!

I'm from Seattle, US. Let's explore the fun of forming and expressing your own opinion through discussing with people from various backgrounds!

Attending International School from young age has strengthen my English skill. I've also met people from diverse backgrounds at Waseda University and my study abroad destination, the University of Edinburgh. I'm really looking forward to this valuable opportunity to talk with high school students in Fukui!

A Thesis Research Seminar specializes in gender and sexuality led by Professor Kamano. This seminar was launched in 2024 at Waseda University's School of Social Sciences. Though the seminar has only six members, the language of instruction is English, and half of the students are from abroad. This event is being held as part of the seminar's activities.

They will help us bridge between high school student participants and university students to interact.
