In collaboration with university students who have shown concern for Akita Prefecture's Lake Hachiro, this project will foster consideration and implementation of sustainabile community development in the Lake Hachiro Basin. The applicant group will oversee the participation of elementary school students in environmental education classes, the participation of junior high school through univeristy-level students in environmental learning programs and experiences, and the conducting of community activities in the Lake Hachiro basin area. These activities and experiences will contribute to the creation of an environmental learning program that is focused on developing human resources who can play an active role in the Lake Hachiro basin and overall environmental field. In creating such an environmental learning program focused on the Lake Hachiro basin, the experience-based program employed by Project WET will be used as a reference, and seminars for the acquisition of necessary qualifications will be held once a year.
