Through collaborations with initiatives such as the Japanese Red Cross’s international exchange programs, the Academy provided
opportunities for students to learn about sustainability and explore solutions to social challenges.
Participants from elementary school through university level were encouraged to envision the future they wish to create and take action to achieve it.
