Student Session

What is a student session?

Local high school and college of technology students will assume that they are the future leaders of the Futaba area, and think about what they should do now in order to bring about a desirable future for the area.
Based on statistical data and objective information on the reconstruction of the Futaba area and the decommissioning of TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, participants will observe the current situation in the difficult-to-return zone and reconstruction efforts at the site, After the tour, group discussions will be held on the basis of the difference between “the future that would have happened if nothing had been done” and “the future as envisioned by the participants”. (Backcasting from the ideal future)
