Success of WISE YOUTH GLOBAL Online
By Hiromi Murakami | President
Dear Supporters:
We are so grateful for your continued support. We have just finished holding online events to promote Youth and Women's Initiative for Sustainable Empowerment (WISE). This year we focused younger generations, 9-12 graders in the US and Japan to explore collaborative social innovation challenges.
WISE Youth Global is specially organized by JSIE to provide opportunity to young individuals for shaping ideas into actionable project plans. Participated 9-12 graders had virtual opportunity to work together with students from various locations to tackle social problems, including period poverty, food waste, child labor, depopulation, and gender unequality issues. Within the three-day workshop, students learned leadership styles through group works with people with diverse background. Thanks to online technology, we have invited great presenters from South Africa, Kumamoto and Boston to talk about their projects, and mentors to provide advice to students. It was our privilege to welcome Ms. Yuki Kondo-Shah from US Consulate in Fukuoka to share her experience.
We will update on our activities and very grateful of your support. Please stay healthy and happy.
All the best,
Hiromi Murakami

Online programs for Women and Youth
By Hiromi Murakami | President - JSIE
We greatly appreciate your continued support under such a difficult time. To take an advantage of online tools, we have been conducting Washington Women's Dialogue and Global Career & Peer Roundtable for students.
We held 20th Washington Women's Dialogue online, inviting Ms. Mitsuki Bun who is a serial entrepreneur and actively working on SDGs agenda. WWD invites professionals who are globally active and who would kindly share their life experience. We have many audience registered from various parts of the globe!
We have started Japan-Global Student Peer Roundtable series and students from Japan, Canada, and the US have attended. JSIE was approved of MCPS Student Service Learning (SSL) program, and MCPS students can get credit for participating. “Global Career Series” continue to provide online opportunity to think about their future life planning but also vital knowledge that may help to navigate future global career. It is an interactive educational program where participants can learn about professional work and experience from the people who are globally active in various fields. This program gives chance for students to ask the speakers questions directly. We are very fortunate to have many global professionals willing to share their expeirence!
We will explore new means to pursue our goal and we greatly appreciate your support.
Thank you very much for taking time to read our newsletter.
