Kanazawa University (Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture) will hold a "Training Camp Series with the President" from July 2015 to February 7 next year.This is an enhancement of the contents of the project that was held twice as "Training camp with the president" last year in 2016, and this year it is part of the common educational subject "Regional" super "experience program" that started in 2. I will.
Under the guidance of President Koetsu Yamazaki, the training camp includes zazen, labor and private lodging experiences in 2 days and 3 nights.In particular, in the private lodging experience, in addition to helping with meals and cleaning, you can talk with the people at the private lodging destination and deepen your understanding of the local culture and lifestyle.
The first is the "Noto / Suzu Camp", which was held for three days from July 7th to 18th, with 20 students including international students participating.The students had a zazen experience, mowing undergrowth in a conservation forest, and a private lodging experience.In the undergrowth mowing experience, we worked while helping each other with the friends we met at the training camp, and in the private lodging experience, we stayed at a family in Suzu City and talked directly to deepen our understanding of the area.At the debriefing session on the final day, there were reports from students such as "I want to improve my communication skills" and "I want to know more about the area where I lived", and it seems that I got hints for improving myself.
"Course series with the president" is scheduled to be held four times this year, including the Suzu training camp that was held this time.The next event will be held from September 4th to 9th in the Ogi district of Noto-cho, Hosu-gun.
