We consider ESD to be an opportunity to think about the mature society that Japan of the 21st century should aim for with the goal of “the realization of the sustainable society” in our school.
We aim to nurture “the willingness to pay more attention to the problems each person has in our society” and act for towards the realization of a sustainable society, especially through the practice of ESD.
Putting emphasis on the following three points, that is, “the way society should be”, “the way nature should be” and “how ourselves should be”, we have learning activities such as debate, field work, and workshop activities.
1 Junior High School Students ( 7th to 9th Graders)
Mainly, we have classes such as “debates in the Japanese language”, “English debates”, “social studies”, and “science” . Each class has some debate activities so that the students can think about the problems and issues from many viewpoints. This leads to the students’ positive action towards discovering the issues and solving them.
2 10th Graders
The students choose their favorite books and read them. Then, they tell their classmates what they thought about the books (exchanging and sharing their opinions) and at the same time, they develop their discussion, developing their thoughts.
Also, we often invite some lecturers from universities and the NGO, having a workshop about SDGs and think about problems of the “global” modern society from a local viewpoint.
3 11th and 12th Graders
Having classes on SDGs and sustainability, the 11th graders have the chance to visit universities, companies, institutions, etc. in order to answer the questions they have and deepen their thoughts. Then, they make presentations on their topics.
Some students go to Australia in order to improve their English and learn about cultural diversities, a good opportunity to think about “the way society should be” through the interchange with the students of a local school.
12th graders write reports and short essays about issues of the modern society to broaden their thoughts.
４ Activities by the Research Project Team
Besides the activities above, we have the Research Project Team, which is for students who wish to promote their favorite social or science activities.
This year, under the theme of “Japanese culture”, including animation and the martial arts, students have started an online exchange with Ukrainian high school students.

Annual Work Plan
We will promote the activities for our students so that they will have various viewpoints thinking about some social issues such as environmental issues and so on. Also, we will make our students more active towards solving the issues through the activities. Cooperation with various institutes and organization will be more important to achieve our goals of making our students more active and positive towards their own future as well as the future of our planet. As a member of UNESCO school, we are sure that the notion of ESD and SDGs will play an important role in the future.
