Support Activities for Ube City in Yamaguchi Prefecture: Year 7-9 High School Students(5Aug)

On 5 August, a delegation of eight high school students from years 7-9, along with their teacher, and city hall staff from Ube City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, visited the CLAIR Sydney office as part of the Junior Global Training Programme.
We delivered presentations tailored to the delegation’s specific requests, sharing our current projects, experiences working in public sectors overseas, and work styles, among other topics. A staff member from the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) also gave a presentation, providing insights into tourism expertise related to Japan from Australia and an overview of their work.
 
The students demonstrated clear motivations and goals for participating in this programme, impressing us with their dedication, diligently taking notes. They also had the opportunity to attend a local school and experience homestays in Newcastle, Ube City’s sister city. We hope that their stay in Australia will offer them valuable opportunities to reflect on their future careers and create memorable experiences that will last a lifetime.
 
We are committed to continuously supporting the activities of Japanese local governments that aim to cultivate a global perspective among students.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
