(参加学生の感想)
Thanks to the support of Kawano-sensei and Josai International University, I had a chance to take part in the 31st UNU Global Seminar Japan (Shonan Session) which was held from 31 August to 3 September 2015, in Shonan Village Center.

Hosted by United Nations University and Kanagawa International Foundation, the Seminar was dedicated to one of the greatest challenges of UN Global Issues – “Improving the quality of life”.

We started each day at 7.30am. We listened to and participated in a total of six lectures given by professors who have been working in the field for many years.
1.The challenge of Bioethics – Matters of Life and Death in Global Context (Prof. Rihito Kimura)
2.The Global Health Landscape, 2015-2030: New Needs, Priorities, Opportunities and Solutions (Mr. Alex Ross)
3.Planetary Health: A new Global Health Paradigm for the Post-2015 Era (Prof. Anthony Capon)
4.Health and Human-Ecosystem (Prof. Chiho Watanabe)
5.Population Issues in Development Reproductive Health and Rights (Ms. Junko Sazaki)
6.Women’s Health and Human Rights (Ms. Sumie Ishii)

The Seminar brought together over 90 participants including notably representatives of Japan, China, Myanmar, Pakistan, Senegal, and Vietnam, with different backgrounds and the common purpose to find answers to the most pressing questions of human rights. Seminar participants convened in eight working groups focusing on key aspects of human rights and development.

I was lucky to meet up with many amazing students and learnt much from them. My group worked hard every day from 7 to 10 pm to conduct the final presentation which you can find here:

It was a great experience for me, and helped to understand more deeply the challenges that we have to do our best to meet. (留学生Thu Haさん)
