We joined the results presentation by The Red Dot School at Sagishima, the island of the Seto Inland Sea. I was very impressed by the unique and great works by the school members gathered from all over the world. I’m already looking forward to the next project now!
Our lunch gathering is an event where students bring a homemade dish and enjoy lunch together. This time, we had a delicious spread including ginger pork, potato salad, and tomato soup. Everyone enjoyed the meal in a lively and friendly atmosphere!
At our monthly seminar, students share updates about their recent activities, and this time, we had many wonderful presentations, including travel experiences and recommended books!
Additionally, we shared insights into the renovation project of the former Kino Police Residence in Osakikamijima Town. We also exchanged feedback on the “Connected by the Sea Art Walk Event,” which took place on May 3rd and 4th, and discussed ideas to further enhance our future initiatives. It was a truly meaningful and engaging session!
After the seminar, we held a welcome party! We welcomed six fourth-year undergraduate students and one first-year master’s student, bringing together a diverse and lively group. We’re excited for all the activities and collaborations ahead this year!
We appreciate your support for the newly restructured Sumakura-Ishigaki Laboratory, and we look forward to a fantastic year ahead!
