On Sunday, December 21, we held an event called the Business Marketing Youth Conference (BMYC) at Marist International School.

On the day of the event, in addition to sharing a report on our activities, high school students presented their own initiatives, followed by presentations and a discussion session centered on the theme of “business.”

From our side, we reported on the activities we have carried out so far and the current situation on the ground. Putting our experiences into words once again gave us an opportunity to reflect on the significance of our work as well as the challenges we face.

The high school students also gave business-themed presentations, introducing projects focused on coffee sales. Their presentations explored how selling products can connect with society and create social impact, and I personally found them very inspiring.

During the discussion session, participants of different ages and backgrounds exchanged honest opinions. This allowed us to think about the concepts of “support” and “business” from multiple perspectives. Rather than learning in a one-way manner, it was a valuable time to deepen our understanding through dialogue.

Through this event, I was reminded that there is no single way to address social issues, and that there are many approaches, including activities, learning, and business. I hope to apply these insights to our future work.
