Project-Based Learning in RIKUZENTAKATA Program
Project-Based Learning in RIKUZENTAKATA Program--Working with Social Enterprise
to Support 311 Disaster Recovery Now Open for Application
The Center for Global Human Resource and Development of Rikkyo University is
now offering an opportunity for both Japanese and international students at
Rikkyo to work closely with SAVE TAKATA, a non-profit social enterprise rooted
in one of the 311 disaster-hit cities Rikuzentakata in the north-east region of
the country.
The program will mainly consist of a field trip to the city of Rikuzentakata,
lectures and workshops before, during and after the trip, and a formal
presentation session all in English. Participants divided into teams will be
given real problems and issues facing SAVE TAKATA or the city of Rikuzentakata
and requested to come up with a final solution.
By joining this program, participants will not only be able to collect
first-hand information and deepen understanding of the current situation of the
disaster-struck areas, but also be actually helping recovery work by cooperating
with related organizations and individuals. Furthermore, participants are
expected to share what they learned about the disaster-stricken districts to
more people home and abroad.
