The 3rd Global Challenge Seminar "Connecting the World with Onigiri - Putting SDGs into Practice" was held

On Friday, October 25, 2024, the 3rd Global Challenge Seminar, "Connecting the World with Onigiri - Putting SDGs into Practice," was held online for students and faculty from all Teikyo University campuses. The purpose of this seminar was for students and faculty from four campuses to learn about one international theme across faculties and fields, and through subsequent discussion, experience the Teikyo Global Competency and the concept of "globalization in everyday life" that the university promotes.
This was the third time the event was held, and two faculty members from our university gave lectures on the theme of "SDGs Close to Home." In her lecture, Senior Assistant Professor Nagai Lisa of the Department Faculty of Economics Department of Economics Hachioji Campus, introduced the Onigiri Action, which uses rice balls to support children in Asia and Africa, as well as the latest trends in the SDGs and IDGs. Professor Ogo Yoshiki, Head of Center of the Medical Education and Research Center, gave a lecture on SDG issues in the medical field (medical inequality, medical waste issues, etc.). Participants from a variety of backgrounds, including students and faculty, gathered and, within the limited time available, engaged in a campus-wide discussion based on the lecture content. Despite being from different campuses and fields, there were commonalities, leading to lively exchanges of questions and opinions, fueled by mutual interest.
Regarding the Onigiri Action, our university actively participated in this initiative by selling onigiri set meals at the student cafeterias on Itabashi Campus and Hachioji Campus during the target period.

Global Initiative Office will continue to provide opportunities for learning and interacting on international topics across campus.
