Exploring Ideas as a Team for the Benefit of Others

On Saturday, May 30, first-year senior high school students spent their Liberal Arts period, part of the Period for Integrated Inquiry, preparing for their upcoming presentation next week.

Although the session lasted four hours, the students remained highly focused and engaged throughout, with many cheerful and enthusiastic expressions seen around the classroom. Working in teams, they gathered around large sheets of paper and carefully imagined the situations and daily backgrounds of the people they wanted to help. They also made effective use of sticky notes as they worked hard to develop their ideas for new projects.

In the second half of the session, students began preparing for their presentations. To clearly communicate the appeal of their ideas within the limited time of three to five minutes, they experimented with word choice, presentation style, and creative ways to engage their audience. It was impressive to see them actively exchanging opinions within their teams and refining their plans step by step.

This four-hour session was not just about finding answers to existing questions. It was an opportunity for students to fully experience the joy of creating new value by themselves.

We look forward to seeing the wonderful presentations next week, filled with kindness, creativity, and thoughtful ideas for others.
