Remarks from participating students
This was my second time to participate, but it was very refreshing since the members were quite different and the ages varied from children to elderly adults. I
once again realized through this activity of the necessity to be prepared on a daily basis, since when there is a disaster there are times when you are faced tomake the ultimate choice. I hope to make use of this experience towards the disaster prevention activity in my hometown.

Since I had also participated in this program last year, I can feel how much I have improved since the last time. When playing the Cross Road game, by making
use of what I have experienced and learned through my DR3 activities, I was able to think completely differently against the same question of last year. It wasalso very stimulating since I was able to hear many different opinions because of the variety of men, women and children in each group. I hope to pass on to
many people as possible of what I’ve learned in the Cross Road games through my DR3 activities.

It was my first time to experience the Cross Road game. The questions asked in the game were so specific and it made me think a lot. Some questions weredifficult to make decisions, but I was able to think by making use of my experience of what I learned in the DR3 activities such as the Tokyo Study Program
and the Sendai Study Tour. Also, since the participants were not only of my age but it ranged from children to elderly adults, I learned that there are different
thoughts from each standpoints. I was able to further deepen my thoughts by listening to opinions which were completely opposite of mine. It made me once
again realize that it is necessary to think more about earthquake disaster on a daily basis. I will also like to pass along to my family and to other elderly peopleof what I have learned from my experiences.
(5th Grade, M.K.)In this Cross Road game experience, it made me think of how to act in a specific situation. Since the questions were created by the Kobe City municipal
officer’s actual experiences, it made me think a lot. Through this activity, I think it is necessary to think about how to act when you are facing a very hazardous
situation. Also I felt that what I’ve learned in this experience can be applied to my future DR3 activities.
