This session showcases a pitch-style competition featuring student teams who participated in a fieldwork-based course “Fieldwork for co-creating harmonious future (B)” at the University of Tsukuba. Through site visits to Ibaraki, Fukushima and Tokyo, lectures, and collaborative group work, students identified complex challenges related to environmental issues, disasters, and energy, and developed science-based solutions using systems thinking and design thinking approaches. International teams composed of Japanese and Ghanaian students will present their proposals, grounded in field observations, stakeholder perspectives, and data analysis. Faculty members and external experts will provide feedback and engage in discussion. The session highlights the educational value of experiential learning and international collaboration, while demonstrating how student-driven research and creativity can contribute to addressing global challenges and co-creating a more sustainable and harmonious future.

本セッションは、筑波大学のフィールドワーク科目「地球社会共創実習B」に参加した学生が、茨城、福島、東京におけるフィールド調査や講義、グループワークを通して発見した環境・災害・エネルギーに関わる複合的課題について、科学的知見とシステム思考・デザイン思考を用いた解決策をピッチコンテスト形式で発表するものである。日本人学生とガーナ人学生による国際混成チームが、現場の声やデータ分析を踏まえた実践的提案を行い、教員・外部有識者との対話を通じて、学術と社会をつなぐ課題解決型人材の育成と国際共創の可能性を示す。
