In addition, the students also handed in their feature-length reports in Japanese in which they had described more useful and constructive comments and suggestions for the improvement of planning and conducts of future programs. I do understand that many home-works were assigned to the students before, during and after the program, but it ended up my pointless concern and fear. All students had worked hard and, almost on time, handed in their excellent reports and comments, to which I am very grateful. These comments and suggestions will be taken into account the improvement of the programs to be carried out elsewhere in the future. Needless to say, this program was impossible to plan and implement without the excellent collaboration and continued support of many friends, colleagues and institutions in Geneva, which are too many to list here. However, special thanks go to Sandrine, André, Antoine, and Olivier at the University of Geneva, Dorine, Marc, and Yumi at the WHO as well as Yoshie at the ILO for their continued support and stoic hospitality. At last not least, I would like to acknowledge the support and contribution of staff members of the Nitobe College Office and the IIC to the planning, conduct and follow-up of this program. With renewed thanks to all for their kind assistance in the successful implementation of this program! Hiko Tamashiro 2017.12.1 Kaori KAWASAKI (Ms), Faculty of Letters, 2nd year Introduction I participated in this program to think about my career. I learned and thought a lot about our world, my career, and others on throughout the program. Lectures In the first field lecture, Sandrine explained us about history of Switzerland. There is the Reformation wall in Geneva. The phrase “POST TENEBRAS LUX （闇のあとの光）” on the Reformation wall was very impressive to me. When we attended the lecture another day, we walked around the city with a wheeled chair. I learned the handicapped people who are confined to a wheeled chair. They have hard time living a daily life. In the classroom, we learned about public space, the components of health and others. The field exercise on the public space and health has inspired me a lot about local autonomy. We also worked on the group project. We went to the town named Ferney-Voltaire, France and the old part of Geneva. Institutions we visited We visited the United Nations organizations such as WHO, ILO, and many others. Mainly, the Japanese staff members of these organizations spoke us about their life and work of their organizations. I learned that these organizations are accessible to me, not beyond my reach! When we visited the UNHCR, we learned their work, the problems of refugee and what we should do.
