Cooperative Educational Program between University (TAOYAKA Program) and High School
Students from the one of the Super Global High Schools from Kagoshima, 鹿児島県立甲南高等学校, came to Hiroshima University to share their research and receive advice from the TAOYAKA Students!
First, the students listened to the lecture from Dr. Nguyen Thi Anh Hong, Assistant Professor, Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation (IDEC). Then after the lunch break, all 14 high school students were divided into 3 groups and each student had an opportunity to present his/her research on “demographic issues in Japan” to the TAOYAKA program students and received feedback. It was also a great opportunity for the TAOYAKA students to share their expertise to these young and future scholars. In fact, we were amazed by the students’ level of English and research skills at their age. There are active discussions during the session and students developed a wonderful networking between the high school and the University.
The details are as follows.

Abstract:
The coastal zone is one of the most dynamic environments on the planet, where meteorological, geological and oceanic agents interact in different magnitudes and spatiotemporal scales. In a context of climate change and in a country marked by major earthquakes and tsunamis, the knowledge of these agents is of fundamental importance to safeguard the security of human settlements, reduce the impacts of coastal works and guarantee port operations and development of the industry. Through local examples, the talk will focus on understanding the challenges in quantifying threats and defining coastal infrastructure adaptation strategies to tsunamis, storms and coastal erosion.
