The 11th GLFP Cohort's Mid-term Presentation was held.
Jan. 20, 2025
On Saturday, January 18, in 2025, the 11th GLFP cohort successfully gave mid-term presentations at GLFP Forum. GLFP Forum is a one-year mandatory curriculum in which post-study abroad Waseda students learn together with international students from the U.S. partner universities for a year in the fall and spring semesters. A total of 15 GLFP students, including 8 U.S. students who have joined since last September and 7 Waseda students, were divided into 3 groups, and each group conducted research according to themes of their interest.
In this mid-term presentation, each group had deepened their understanding on the below-mentioned themes respectively:
・Fortune, Fate, and Fulfillment: Japan’s Formula for Luck, Resilience, and Opportunity
・Japan Going Green: Energy Structure and Policy
・Inbound Tourism as a Tool To Address Rural Depopulation and Labor Shortages
They gave their presentations to approximately 50 participants in hybrid (both in-person and online) format. During the Q&A session, many comments and questions were received from the audience and online participants, and it was very lively, with the 11th cohort giving convincing answers to difficult questions based on their own experiences and ideas. It was a meaningful opportunity for the 11th cohort to inspire their future research activities.
