Original video promoting Kagoshima University SDGs activities, planned by students
https://sdgs.kuas.kagoshima-u.ac.jp/
Background and objectives of activities
As a “center of knowledge” for the southern Kyushu and Nansei Islands region, Kagoshima University aims to continue to generously demonstrate the “power of knowledge” that has been generated from the results of its accumulated educational and research activities and various initiatives, and to work towards achieving the SDGs as “all-Kagoshima University”, with students, faculty and staff, and all those involved with the university working together.
The video is a wonderful compilation of student ideas, and we hope you will take a look.
Summary of Activities
Over the course of six months, students at Kagoshima University came up with the scenario, and then performed in the video alongside faculty and staff, with the president of the university also taking part.
The video is based around the theme of “a day in the life of a university student”, and starts with the student commuting to university, then moves on to lectures and what happens after school, etc., so it's structured in a way that makes it easy to imagine the everyday life of a university student. It also promotes the rich natural environment of Kagoshima.
In addition, the first video may seem like an ordinary day in the life of a university student, but at the end of the first video, a thumbnail for the second video with the subtitle “SDGs in places like this? appears. We would like you to watch this second video as well. This second video is designed to show you which SDG goals each scene is related to.
Expected Benefits
I hope that students and high school students will watch the video and think, “Kagoshima University looks interesting,”
and that it will lead to them finding the ‘SDGs of each individual’ that are all around them.
