国際貢献学部グローバル観光学科の学生２３人は観光の先進国タイを訪問し、体験などを通してさまざまな角度から観光を学び、最終的にはタイ観光プランを立案するプログラムに出発をして、1週間がたちました。
学生の方からプログラムの様子が届きましたので紹介したいと思います。
今回はタイのバンコクに三週間滞在し、英語やタイ文化について学んでいくためのプログラムがスタートしました。タイ文化や英語能力をスキルアップしていきたいと考えています。
プログラム開始から数日間は、マヒドン大学で英語やタイ文化、マーケティング、タイの観光に関する授業もしっかりと受けることが出来ました。さらに美しいお寺を観光し、タイにある仏教文化を体験することができ、とても有意義な時間を過ごしています。
今回は現地での生活に少しでも不安が無いようにと、同世代の学生の方々にもサポートをしていただき、タイの文化やタイのショッピングモールも数多く回ることができ、問題なく現地での生活を楽しむことが出来ています。
これから少しでも多くタイ文化に慣れて、現地での生活から観光について様々な角度から考えていきたいと思います。

国際貢献学部のグローバル観光学科では、コミュニティーエンゲージメントプログラムの一つに、長期休暇を利用して湯田中渋温泉で就業体験をしながら、各旅館からの課題に取り組むプログラムがあります。
今年度も春休みを利用し１月31日から湯田中渋温泉へ４週間、５つの旅館に分かれてお世話になっています。
その旅館の一つ「炭乃湯」で研修している学生から届いたコメントと写真をご紹介したいと思います。
本日で研修が始まってから3週間程が経ちました。
私たちは主に午前の部、午後の部と分かれて仕事をしています。
午前の部では、主に朝食お給仕・片付け、フロント業務、客室掃除手伝い、チェックイン業務をやっています。
午後の部では、お客様を迎える仕事、チェックイン業務、夕食のお給仕、片付けをしています。既に3週間ということでほとんどの仕事が1人でできるようになりました。
英語を使うことが多かったり、お客様の接客や料理の説明だったり大変なことが多いですが、その分お客様とコミュニケーションを取れたり、褒められたりすることに大きなやりがいを感じました。
あと残りわずかな時間ですが、この環境に感謝し、更に成長をしていきたいです。

On the 9th February we joined a presentation and workshop by Ms. Sawano of the Sakai City SDGs platform office. She shared with us about the SDGS program, Sakai City’s goals, and SDG projects, and about an SDGs event which will be held in late March. Ms. Sawano asked us to brainstrom different ideas on how Sakai City could better communicate the events and activities of the SDGs office, and more specefically about the upcoming SDGs event.
Our team focused on how to make the flyers more attractive for the international communities and how to present information in multiple languages. We dicsussed various ideas of creating multi-lingual flyers to post around the city, SNS campaigns, and ultimately decided that an easy way to spread information is to create an online multilingual website which could be accessed through QR codes displayed on posters. Residents could access the QR codes to find more information about events in various languages.
We were also able to meet with different people from both the Brazilian and Filipino communities to present our ideas and also listen to their own ideas about how the city could better connect with their communities. We plan to put our different ideas together and present them to Ms. Sawano of Sakai City later in Febuary during an online meeting to discuss what we learned.
On the last day of this CEP all DGS joined a party organized by the Sakai Philiipine organization in our honor. They prepared presenations on the importance of the cocunut tree, musical karaoke, traditional games, and an amazing traditional Philippine feast with various meats, seafood, and vegetables presented on a large bed of rice that was also on banana leaves. All the Filipino families and DGSs students stood around the long table of food eating with our hands and enjoying each other.
The feast was a wonderful way to conclude our 4 days in Sakai City learning about different international communities and both their hardships and successes of living in a new country. The hospitality of the Sakai-Philippine organization in making this party and feast was wonderful and we hope to join them again in the future.

The disaster preparedness team visited the disaster prevention center in Sakai City Hall to learn the importance of disaster preparedness and the significance of collaboration with the local community. We also traveled to the newly opened Sakai City Disaster Prevention Center to experience hands on activities related to fires, simulated earthquakes that have occurred in Japan, as well as simulations of the anticipated Nankai Trough earthquake.
Our focus on the topic of disaster preparedness was on the measures being taken for foreign residents living in Sakai City. The major challenges regarding disasters in Japan, not just in Sakai City, is how to evacuate pregnant women, elderly people, and non-Japanese speakers who find it difficult to understand information during emergencies. During interviews and discussions with Filipino experts residing in Sakai, it was suggested that the Disaster Center should conduct English awareness events through various foreign community networks. Additionally, they recommended that experiencing events like earthquakes firsthand would be beneficial.
Our group learned that it would be a good idea for Sakai City to organize an opportunity for representatives from various communities living in Sakai City to come together and learn about disasters in Japan. In this role, tasks would include organizing community meetings, providing educational materials on disaster preparedness, and facilitating discussions among representatives. Additionally, collaboration with local government agencies and disaster relief organizations would ensure that accurate and timely information reaches all communities. This position would not only enhance disaster resilience but also promote multicultural understanding and cooperation within Sakai City.

As part of the Cultural Exchange Program (CEP) in Sakai City, our team delved into the theme of "Children and Education." This topic resonated deeply with us as we explored the challenges and opportunities faced by children from multicultural backgrounds in navigating the Japanese education system.
During our interviews, we encountered remarkable stories, such as that of a family who migrated from Brazil to Japan 28 years ago and have never returned. They shared their struggles and triumphs, especially in integrating their children into Japanese society. Another family, arriving 18 years ago, faced numerous obstacles but found solace and support through initiatives like Projecto Construir Arte, which aims to promote Portuguese language and culture among students.
Through this program, we learned about the complexities children face, including the difficulties of balancing multiple languages and cultures. Despite efforts to provide education in Portuguese and Japanese, challenges such as bullying, language barriers, and a lack of emotional support systems persist. However, initiatives like Projecto Construir Arte serve as beacons of hope, offering a platform for cultural exchange and emotional resilience building.
From our discussions, several key challenges emerged, including social exclusion ("ijime"), language barriers, academic pressure, and limited access to support networks. These challenges underscore the importance of fostering a nurturing environment where children can feel valued, supported, and empowered to embrace their cultural identities while adapting to life in Japan.
As a team, we are committed to addressing these challenges by promoting emotional well-being and cultural integration. Our goals include fostering a sense of belonging and providing resources for children to thrive academically and emotionally. By creating inclusive spaces and advocating for multicultural education, we aim to empower children to navigate the complexities of identity and culture with confidence and resilience.
In conclusion, our journey through the Sakai City CEP has been eye-opening and inspiring. We are grateful for the opportunity to shed light on the experiences of multicultural children and to advocate for their holistic well-being. Together, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment where every child has the opportunity to flourish.
