Participant Comments
CAMBODIA Student I learned the importance of teamwork. Through the process of producing video work, I learned the importance of leadership and the importance of teamwork in producing good work as a team.
JAPAN Individual Support Class Teacher I feel a great sense of emotional growth in the children. As one of the ways for children who struggle with expressing their feelings through conversation or writing, the option of ‘video’ has been added. As a result, their desire to express their feelings has grown, and they have become more thoughtful about how to communicate with others, leading to significant emotional growth.
BRAZIL Student I was able to interact with friends from various countries and felt closer to the world. My experience of working on video production like a professional has become invaluable to me. At the Global Summit, I was able to interact with friends from various countries, and it made the world feel very close.
VIETNAM Student I was able to learn about the cultures of other countries At the Global Summit, I had the opportunity to learn about the cultures of other countries, and it became one of my best memories. I hope that everyone who watched the video we created will be inspired to protect the environment and be considerate of people with disabilities.
