Divided into three groups, the participants reflected on their experiences working with local communities, highlighted the knowledge they had gained, and discussed the challenges and opportunities they encountered. Their presentations demonstrated not only their academic growth but also a deep appreciation for the people and culture of Shodoshima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
