Study tours in Kyushu
We are providing the Study tours in Kitakyushu and Nagasaki from the viewpoint
of SDGs.
SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are
a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people
enjoy peace and prosperity and which is a collection of 17 Global Goals.
The Goals to be achieved vary by country and region and the solutions and difficulty
to reach the Goals also differ. Kitakyushu and Nagasaki are the best places of SDGs.
Because the histories, current environmental leadership and further plans of those
areas are related to all 17 Goals, therefore the solutions for each participant can
be found.
