The title of the eight-day workshop was “To Create a Society with a Comfortable Living Environment – Let’s keep our air and water fresh and clean for life on earth!”
Besides these training activities, the workshop also included opportunities to experience the Japanese culture and traditions and take an eco-tour outside Yokkaichi.
At the end of the week-long workshop, the teenagers in two groups presented the current environmental situation and problems of each of their cities and their ideas and views on what they can do to protect the future of the Earth.
They not only learned about various matters concerning environmental protection but also deepened their consideration of environmental issues from a global viewpoint.
These participants are highly expected to continue their exchanges with each other and play an active role as a friendship bridge and as young members of the future generation in the coming years, while contributing to improving the environmental conditions of Yokkaichi and its two sister cities, Tianjin and Long Beach.
ICETT would like to express its gratitude to all the parties who cooperated in the program. (Kana Mizutani)
