First Lesson

↑Second Lesson
In the special course at Koen Girls’ Junior and Senior High School, titled “Let’s Participate in the Activities of the International NGO Seibo!”, we invited Mr. Keigo Yoshimoto from Resona Holdings’ Sustainability Promotion Office on June 19 and 26.

Since last year, NPO Seibo has been responsible for this special course at Koen Girls’ Junior and Senior High School

The purpose of this class was to learn more about corporate sustainability and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) from Mr. Yoshimoto.

Pre-Learning (6/5)

As part of the pre-learning, two third-year high school students conducted a class based on the materials provided in advance by Mr. Yoshimoto.

First, they explained CSR and what is expected from companies in a way that was easy for middle and high school students to understand.

Then, they engaged in a learning activity called “Game of Choice,” which focuses on CSR procurement.

Divided into teams such as corporate teams, shareholder teams, and retail teams, they examined the issues surrounding CSR procurement.

The discussion was very lively, and students felt a closer connection to CSR and sustainability, which they were learning about for the first time.

The content of this day’s class was also reviewed by Mr. Yoshimoto, who praised their efforts.

First Class (6/19)

In the first class, we learned about CSR procurement, mainly focusing on human rights.

We began by reviewing the concept of CSR learned in the pre-learning and understanding the current status of mass production and consumption, along with future predictions and challenges through case studies.

Then, we studied the current situation regarding child labor and forced labor. Mr. Yoshimoto explained how companies have addressed the issues of child labor in contracted factories.

Examples that suggested even familiar products and companies might be involved with child labor were very enlightening for the students, and they learned in an enjoyable way, incorporating quizzes on the SDGs.

Second Class (6/26)

In the second class, we continued learning about CSR procurement, particularly focusing on corporate environmental responsibility.

We began by studying the current situation and predictions of environmental problems caused by global warming.

We deepened our discussions about potential future issues such as rising sea levels, food shortages, and ecosystem destruction.

Following this, similar to the “Game of Choice,” students discussed how to respond to companies dealing with factories that are causing environmental problems and presented their findings.

The students engaged seriously in the discussions.

Once again, we incorporated SDGs quizzes and discussion time, making the learning both enjoyable and in-depth.
