Purpose of the Event

Considering the serious problems facing the world and the global environment, the possibility of resolving these issues lies in building sustainable and friendly relationships across national borders among high school students who will be the leaders of the next generation. Takatsuki High School, as part of the Super Global High School Network designated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, will utilize the results of the global education it has cultivated over the past decade to host this meeting as an opportunity for high school students to gather across borders and explore approaches to “building a global community where people can enjoy good health and peace of mind” from the perspective of high school students.

The meeting will also serve as a commemorative event for high school students to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and Palau.
