In FY2022, we implemented a 2−day online program twice. The students were divided into six small groups, mixing both countries' students, and they enjoyed presenting their countries to overseas friends and discussing what they regard as problems in their own countries, based around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The students also had the chance to collaborate with overseas friends by preparing short presentations about “a better future” during the program.
