神戸大学ユネスコチェア事業の柱のひとつに、 学部生や大学院生を対象に年に一度開催される 「教育プログラム」があります。本年度は 12 月 2 日 ~3 日にオンラインで開催され、神戸大学から 13 名 ( うちファシリテーター 2 名 ), インドネシア 8 名 , マレーシア 3 名 , タイ６名 , 台湾 10 名 , パキスタン 8名の学生が参加しました。 今年度のテーマ「災害について話そう～みんなでつくる安全・安心」のもと、前半は各国の現状についてのプレゼンテーションや教員によるパネルディスカッションをし、 後半は、複数大学で構成されたグループが気候変動のメカニズムや対策という課題に対して自らの回答を報告しました。
オンラインで初対面の相手と英語で議論することの難しさを味わう経験と共に、 各国の類似点や違いについて学ぶことができたようです。 アンケートには 「参加したことによって、 大学生として私たちが住むコミュニティをより安全にすることがたくさんあることに気づいた。 SNS などを使って災害についての情報提供ができ、 私たちの想像力や若い視点を使って、 防災が推進できる」 ( ガジャマ
ダ大学 )、「オンラインで行うことができたため、 多くの国の学生と意見交換ができて大変効率的だと思った。
また、 グループでも多くの違う大学の人がいたため、 意見の違いがあって面白かった」 ( 神戸大学 )などのコメントが多数ありました。 来年度はインドネシアのガジャマダ大学で対面開催する予定です。
興味がありそうな学生がいたら、 ぜひご紹介ください。

・It was too early in the morning.

・As it was virtual, it was very frustrating to sit on screen for more than six hours.
・Timing・There was nothing to dislike about the conference.

・There was not enough time to prepare the presentation on Day 1.

・強制することは難しいとは思いますが、ブレイクアウトルームに分かれている時は、全員カメラをオンにしてコミュニケーションをとることができればより良いなと思いました。

・I think that there was a lack of participation from some participants. I noticed that only the same people

continued to voice out opinions and answer questions, while others kept silent by muting their microphone
and turning off the camera. This is especially true during breakout rooms, which made it harder to discuss.

・割と深いお題に対して、与えられた時間が少なかったので、深い議論は出来なかった点。

・英語での会話がかなりできなければ、討論することができないため、日本人の英語力のバランスをとって貰いたかった。

・グループ間で足並みが揃っていないことがありました。英語力の問題だとは思いますが、能力差がある中でもみんなが理解しやすいように工夫が必要だったと思います。また、神大は質問への返答の対応が不十分であり、積極性に欠けていたように思います。

what they listened.

・I think that before each country reports on the first day, their files could be posted in the chat, so that we
can get to know them better. I think the rest can be keep.

・I think we can allow students to download the same communication software first, which can save sometime in setting up the group, or there is a group member does not cooperate with the situation, in addition,
for students who are not good at English, we can also suggest them to download the real-time translation,
so that they can participate in the discussion more!

・Group works should be kept the same but perhaps ice breaking activities should be more entertaining
and interactive.

・I think everything is perfect for this time-limited activity. But during the presentaion time on the second
day it might have been too long. I feel like if the group was less and it would be good to change to a morein-depth topic.

・If considering changes for future conferences, I recommend moving from an online format to an on-

campus, in-person format to allow for more effective communication and interaction between participants.
While online platforms have their advantages, but, a campus environment may provide more engagement
and a richer experience. Additionally, the conference’s overall performance will be further enhanced bymaintaining networking opportunities and putting a variety of relevant and different themes on the same
platform.

・Provide us more about DRR.

・I would suggest having a live session and we would meet and greet people around the world.
・It should be physical rather than onlin

・Timing should be changed, but not presentations and group activity.

・The next educational program should be held on-site where we can get a chance to explore and get moreof an experience.

・Everything was good and I think you should keep the same time management in the next conference.
・Changes:- Online to On-site. Keep:- different universities from different countries.

・I would suggest of having a live session and we would meet and greet people around the world. In thisway, we could better know each other and learnt about diverse culture of the world.

・神戸大学の学生は同じ場所でプログラムを受けたほうが良いと思った。
・神戸大学でのアクセスポイントを複数確保して欲しかった。

・振り返りに使用したいので、プレゼンの資料を共有してもらえるとありがたいです。Zoom の録画も復習用に視聴できるようにしていただけると嬉しいです。

・I think that the conference should enforce a stricter rule to have everyone open their cameras andunmute their microphones, especially during group discussions, to encourage participation from everyone.

I think the flow of the program is already good, but inserting a small break between presentations might bea good idea as it is easier to feel burnt out since it is an online program.

・時間的に難しいとは思うが、お題に取り組む前か後に、もっとフリートークをしたかった。全員が発表に関わるという点では適度な人数配分だったが、会話を増やすならもう少し少ない人数で班分けしたらよかった。

・オンライン特有の問題だが、一部音声が聞き取りにくい人がいたので、接続環境を各自で確認してから参90Questionnaire
