Students from our university participated in the Hawaii Social Work Seminar hosted by the Univer Foundation.

The Hawaii Social Work Seminar sponsored by the Univale Foundation was held for 15 days from February 15th, and Miyu Tadaki, a second-year student at our Faculty of Letters Department of Human Studies university, participated.
Approximately 20 graduate and undergraduate students who aspire to become social workers were dispatched to Hawaii to learn about the overall picture of social work in Hawaii through lectures and discussions by lecturers at the University of Hawaii, exercises in small groups, and visits to facilities and hospitals.
In Hawaii, where a wide variety of ethnic groups coexist, this seminar is a valuable opportunity for people from various occupations to see and hear the practice of welfare in harmony and cooperation based on the traditional "Aloha spirit."

Mr. Tazuki said, "Through the seminar I participated in with the support of Dr. Hannah Nishikawa, I felt firsthand the spirit of aloha that lives in the welfare field. In particular, I was deeply impressed by the phrase "Make a difference" and the attitude of proactively trying to bring about change in society. I would like to use the courage to take on challenges and diverse values gained here to continue trial and error in my practical training and future activities after returning to Japan, and work on them without fear of failure."
