【For high school and university students】2019 High School and University Collaboration Future Session < September 22 (Sun) Kyoto City venue > Call for Participants

It is said that with the advent of AI, there will be no jobs that exist in the future.
As society and work styles change, I would like to think about how the interests and concerns of high school and university students are connected to society and how they can be utilized in society, through dialogue with guests, and how they will work in the future.
Through interaction with diverse high school and university students, let’s create new ideas for work and careers that are not just “work ≈ business”.
In addition, no matter how society and occupations change, you may be able to realize the need for academic skills that cannot be measured by tests in order to live in the society of the future.

◆ Guest

Noriaki Imai (President, NPO D×P)

Born in Sapporo in 1985. Graduated from Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. When he was in high school, he founded an NGO that provides medical assistance to Iraqi children. When he traveled to Iraq for his activities, he was detained as a hostage by local armed groups. After returning to Japan, he received a big bashing for his words of “self-responsibility”. In order to support students who, like him, have experienced rejection from adults, he established the NPO D×P in 2012 after working for a specialized trading company in Osaka. We will develop youth support for correspondence and part-time high school students, aiming to create a society in which each and every young person can have hope for their own future.

◆Coordinator
