On January 24th, the Yamanashi Brand Summit was held at our school.
At the opening ceremony, our school’s mascot character “Tobiran” was introduced.
At this year’s Yamanashi Brand Summit, not only the first and second-year students of the Inquiry Course, but also the second-year students of the General Course participated by presenting posters.
In the first session, we saw a presentation by one group who took on the challenge of reducing salt in ramen under the theme “We want to keep eating our favorite foods!” Another group explored ways to increase awareness of the value of forests under the theme “The Value of Forests.”
In the second session, groups included “Kyōnan Region Revival Team,” which focused on revitalizing the Kyōnan area, and another group titled “Insects as Pets,” which explored whether keeping insects as pets could help reduce people’s discomfort or fear toward them.
Across all groups, we saw a strong attitude toward inquiry
from various perspectives based on each student’s interests and curiosities.
Yamanashi Brand Summit: Part 2
Ideas and opinions born from the unique perspectives of high school students attracted the attention of many visitors. Receiving feedback from adults active in the real world also provided students with valuable opportunities to deepen their inquiries.
The summit also served as a place for first- and second-year students to interact. By observing each other’s presentations, they discovered new insights and points for improvement. Being able to learn and grow beyond grade levels was an important experience for the students.
At the closing ceremony, representatives from each group gave short summaries of their projects, and they received positive feedback from the invited guests.
Looking ahead to the upcoming international conference, the students will continue to apply what they learned from this summit and further develop their inquiry activities.
山梨ブランドサミット：パート1
1月24日に本校で山梨ブランドサミットが行われました。開会式では、本校マスコットキャラクター「とびらん」が紹介されました。今回の山梨ブランドサミットでは探究科1・2年生に加え、普通科の2年生もポスター発表で発表に参加しました。
前半の分科会では、「好きなものを食べ続けたい！」というテーマでラーメンの減塩に挑戦する班や「森林の価値」というテーマで森林に対する価値を高める活動を行っている班がありました。
後半の分科会では、「峡南地域もりあげ隊」という名前で、峡南地域の活性化に取り組む班、「昆虫をペットに」という班では、その名の通り「昆虫」に対する苦手意識をペットにすることで解消できないかという探究を行っていました。それぞれの関心や興味に対して、様々な角度から探究する姿勢が見られました。
山梨ブランドサミット：パート２
高校生ならではの視点から生まれた意見やアイデアは、多くの来場者や観衆の関心を集めるとともに、実社会で活躍する大人の方々から意見をいただくことで、探究をさらに深める機会となりました。
また、本サミットは1年生と2年生の交流の場ともなり、互いの発表を見学し合う中で、新たな発見や今後の改善点を見出すことができました。学年の枠を超えて切磋琢磨できたことは、生徒たちにとって大きな学びとなりました。閉会式では各班の代表が、自分たちの探究内容について短くまとめて発表し、来賓の方からも好評をいただくことができました。
次回予定されている国際会議に向けて、今回得た学びを活かし、今後も探究活動に日々精進していきます。
