Student projects through the Community Engagement Program of the Department of Global Tourism were featured in two local newspapers in Wakayama Prefecture: The Kisyu Simbun issued on Tuesday, December 21st and Hidaka Shimpo issued on Wednesday, December 22nd.

The two papers reported how the four students of the Faculty of Global Engagement of Global Tourism who visited the Mio district in Mihama-cho, Wakayama Prefecture, gave presentations to their collegemates from December 13th to the 16th, about their activities which included onsite research on ocean pollution. For the purpose of reaching as many students as possible about their findings, they created posters that described their onsite research and exhibited them on campus for the presentation. They also held a workshop to make ballpoint pens using seashells, sea glass and marine plastic waste that they collected on the beach in Mio, and thus introducing the issue of ocean plastic pollution.
