We had the first meeting of iCircle.
The contents was
1 Explanation of iCircle's concepts
2 Small discussion based on an article of English News Paper
7 members gathered despite the heavy rain,
Thank you very much everyone!
Some people counldn't make it but I hope
they can join us next week.
We're having a small party soon to
get closer each other
iCircleOur focus is on understanding and explaining how youth can build international careers.
What are the concrete steps we take?
So far, we have decided to do the following:
1) Collect information about studying abroad or working abroad weekly, then present it to others. After presenting, upload to the Internet to build our public database.
(And then, we publish it next year!)
2) Practice English by using it to complete these tasks.
3) Regularly invite experienced guest speakers.
It is my firm belief that through making such focused efforts,
we can overcome our sense that change is somehow “impossible”
or that “the situation can’t be helped”.
For me, only we can change the world; we have to do it with our own hands.
DiscussionWe discussed the following topics today.
◯What should Japan learn from North European countries
such as Norway?
(in terms of economy, social policy or culture? etc.etc)
◯Also, what should we learn as individuals from them?
◯What aspects of traditional Japanese culture can
we proudly introduce to other countries?
*Are there non-traditional cultures and cultural
products we can also proudly share?
◯What is your position on the issue of whale
hunting? Why are you for/against it?
⇒It was a nice discussion for the first time.
It would be nice if we can make small groups to discuss,
and then, present the group's idea to the other grou
next week.
Anyway, everyone participated actively!!
