On the first day of the training,\u00a0 Habitat Japan staff delivered five sessions the whole day.\u00a0 Starting with the icebreakers,\u00a0 the participants got to know each other quickly, therefore started the training smoothly as they are representatives of campus chapter. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first lecture included the introduction of the vision and mission of Habitat for Humanity as well as the time to deepen understanding of expected roles of campus chapters as Habitat partners.\u00a0 In the following session, the participants learned about the Sustainable Development Goals\u00a0 Habitat for Humanity aims to achieve as an international NGO. They learned what social issues we try to solve and SDGs focus the spotlights on,\u3000and the well-balanced 3 dimensions of<\/span> economy, society and environment are integrated as the nature of the SDGs.\u00a0 It is of crucial importance in ensuring that the purpose of the new Agenda is realized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The next session narrowed down the focus to hometowns and communities where their universities are located.\u00a0 The students discussed any issues around their communities. Before moving to the workshop to find out the solution to resolve any social issues they found in the community, some inputs about \"leadership\" were shared with the participants.\u00a0 Leadership is not only for a \"leader\" who has special skills and talents. Leadership is what everyone has so that <\/span>all members of the team look in the same direction, share issues and tackle them together. At the end of the lecture, each participant teamed up with others to think about what they can do to solve any community issues they raised. Keeping lessons about SDGs,\u00a0 leadership and more inputs, the participants thought creatively how they can take actions in the society.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
