This year, the theme was [International Poverty and Sustainable Development].
According to the student's surveys, there were comments such as,
‘I have learned a lot from this game. Not only about Japan, but how to propose a plan with other teams that will have an equal outcome, and how to sustain good international affairs. I realized how it's difficult to commit to big plans when you have limits but also have a responsibility as an active global citizen.’
‘We learned how to cooperate with other actors and how to create more concrete, precise plans to provide efficient help to vulnerable people. During creating treaties with others, we also learnt the proper attitude as a multilateral organization.’

Global Simulation Gaming Event Day
On Saturday, July 2nd, the College of International Relations held
the "Global Simulation Gaming (GSG)" event on Kinugasa Campus using the
‘hybrid format’, combining in-person and online participation.
GSG
is a course in which 2nd-year students take on the role of
International Organizations, States, NGOs, Corporations, and media, and
experience international relations through policymaking, international
conferences, and negotiations.
By thoroughly researching their own actors and engaging in actual diplomatic negotiations, students develop knowledge of international affairs from multiple perspectives and deepen their understanding of the real international society.
During
the event, students assigned to different roles as ‘Actors’ organized
and participated in international conferences such as United Nation
Security Council and UN General Assembly and actively move international
negotiation forward to resolve issues. Media Actors have broadcasted
the situations through videos and online newspapers. Each Actor carried
out various activities based on the character of each country or
organization.
According to the student's surveys, there were comments such as,
‘I have learned a lot from this game. Not only about Japan, but how to propose a plan with other teams that will have an equal outcome, and how to sustain good international affairs. I realized how it's difficult to commit to big plans when you have limits but also have a responsibility as an active global citizen.’
‘We learned how to cooperate with other actors and how to create more concrete, precise plans to provide efficient help to vulnerable people. During creating treaties with others, we also learnt the proper attitude as a multilateral organization.’
The event left students with a great sense of
achievement while experiencing and understanding the difficulties of the
conflict of interests and forming agreements.

The AY2022 Zemi Research Competition will be held on Thursday, November 10 !!
In the College of International Relations, students cultivate the ability to examine various issues faced by the international community from diverse political, economic, social, or cultural perspectives and then seek various ways to approach those issues. The Zemi Research Convention is a research convention that began in AY 2000, allowing students to give concrete shape to their learning and giving them a chance to make their studies known to people outside of the university.
At the convention, students belonging to various seminars give presentations concerning their learning achievements to not only their peers and university faculty, but to a range of people from various walks of life.
The 2022 event will be held on Thursday, November 10, from 15:00-18:00.
This year again, in-person presentations at Kenshinkan and web presentations will be held at the same time.

Report on the guest lecture (Accenture Japan Ltd : TomokoTakemura )
TomokoTakemura, from Accenture Japan Ltd, was invited as guest lecturer at the Professional Workshop (English class: led by Pr. Wanxue Lu).
more
We invite Ms. Takemura Tomoko to discuss their working experiences for a consulting company named “Accenture”. The specialty of the company lies in the fact that it does not offer any direct services to the general consumers, but it works in consultation with companies on the basis of technological reforms and human ingenuity. The workplace offers a “people’s mentor” system where everyone in the company, including the CEO has a mentor that they can refer to for advice and questions.
This point of operation can help newcomers of the company to be less scared or confused on their exact duties, as well as, create a strong working community where people are unafraid to voice their struggles.
