In order to delve deeper and build the necessary skills to lead and solve social issues, the students were divided into five groups. From January 2022, in their perspective teams the students brought their ideas and discussed ways to solve the social issues chosen based on their interests. 

The five groups first undertook a voluntary activity for about three months and made presentations on the progress and future of their actions on May 22.  Students worked on a wide range of activities, including community formation for students, interaction with people around the world, visualization of changes in the feelings of young people, and support for women regarding period and reproductive health.

The four participants selected through the program are scheduled to participate in the training held in the United States in August.
