Application Guideline
GraSPP Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Fieldwork is a Case Study course providing innovative training and international collaboration exploring ways to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As part of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda, having specialized knowledge and hands-on experience on how to meet the SDGs is in high demand from government agencies, international organizations, private companies and social sector at every scale. The UN 2030 Agenda and SDG partnerships truly represent a global effort from the public and private sectors, at the international and local level, to respond to the most challenging questions of our time. This course is intended to provide the students with the chance of interacting with relevant International Organizations, NGOs, Japanese and foreign government officials, business organisations, in order to enhance their understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals in their practical and organisational challenges. The course also aims at developing the students’ professionalism, ability to communicate in complex environments, internationalisation, and networking. Students will first undergo training attending the International Organizations for International Development in the 21st Century course in A1A2. The attendance of such course is compulsory for all selected students. If circumstances allow, students may also visit several Japan-based International Organisations in Tokyo, the Kansai area, and other parts of the country. Alternatively, meetings will be held online. Furthermore, each student will develop a part of a collective project together with his/her team. The projects should aim at analysing, discussing, and proposing policies for the advancement of one or more SDG goals in the framework of public policy and international/global governance. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The SDG Fieldwork allows students to develop entrepreneurial skills and provides an opportunity for students to develop concrete projects rooted in their local environments, and to interact with academics, practitioners and policymakers specializing in the SDGs. Students benefit from the experience of building and implementing their own interdisciplinary SDG projects while collaborating with multiple actors at different levels of society. The skills gained from completion of the course serve as a valuable asset for students’ future careers across multiple sectors. Why apply? ---Participants of SDGs Fieldwork will also benefit from: A multidisciplinary approach to SDG implementation and a multicultural experience Development of a diverse profile in a highly demanded field by recruiters in a wide variety of sectors Access to a network of globally trained professionals Critical skills to work in the public sector, multilateral institutions, international NGOs and multinational companies STRUCTURE This course is centred on a series of discussion sessions with senior officials, management staff and experts in government agencies, international organizations, global business entities, NGOs, and research institutions. Students are required to prepare such sessions while working on their project (as team and as individuals responsible for particular parts of the team project). The course grade will be based on preparation, participation and final report.

As we have witnessed, the pandemic has accentuated the many existing inequalities in our societies. These inequalities can be seen across a range of fields, including access to resources, basic rights, food security, housing, healthcare, technology, education and personal safety, among others. In this context, we invite students to identify an important policy challenge in a field related to the SDGs and the economic and social inequality. Proposals can incorporate public, private or hybrid approaches as appropriate. Students need to submit a proposal, letter of motivation (both maximum 1,000 words) and CV to GraSPP Office (ppsupport.j@gs.mail.u-tokyo.ac.jp) and cc: Prof. Orsi (orsi@g.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp). The proposal should contain the student’s reflection on SDGs (even a particular one), sustainable development, global governance, and its challenges. The application deadline is 5pm, 17 September 2021 (JST). The interviews of the short-listed candidates will be conducted on 22 September as needed.

Along with the courses I took, regular meetings among CAMPUS Asia members enriched my understandings of Japan, China, and Korea through friendly talks, fieldworks, and group projects. I was excited about the exploration in Japan in the following year, but due to the outbreak of Covid-19, I had no choice, but to learn how to interact with professors and colleagues through screen in my home country. After an eight month-long entry restriction, I was able to set foot in Japan and thanks to the empathetic support by administrative staff, I have been allowed to stay here longer with precious opportunities to finally meet friends in person and witness how the Japanese government and citizens have responded to Covid-19 and the hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

During the first semester at UTokyo, the CAMPUS Asia Joint Course was almost the only chance we CAMPUS Asia members could interact with each other. Despite such a restricted setting, I learnt a lot from lectures given by professors of the three universities about different approaches of CJK countries toward the United States as a rival for global supremacy and an indispensable ally for national security. Likewise, the worldview of the three countries differs according to their size of military capability and economy. On the cultural side, CJK countries have developed proximity through trilateral interactions for many centuries, leading to binding the people at the individual level on the one hand, but to complications at the political level on the other hand. For instance, the word “regret” could be translated as “유감,” “遗憾,” and “遺憾” in each language, but the linguistic difference naturally creates ambiguity, subsequent misunderstandings and frictions in diplomacy and many other situations. Even so, I came to realize that getting a grasp of such a nuance through heartfelt communications among CJK citizens is a necessary step to form a Northeast Asian identity. Overall, the course taught me that even though realpolitik serves as a barrier for regional peace, there is room for trilateral cooperation as long as CJK people are aware of its needs.

The GraSPP Policy Challenge I took in the second semester was a real challenge to me as everyone was strongly encouraged to participate in regular group discussions, which I was not very familiar with. Moreover, my group’s policy design and suggestion would be presented and assessed by renowned UTokyo professors, and then by Deans of the world’s most prestigious public policy schools in the final round! Fortunately, it did not take very long until my intimidation was turned into excitement and passion. I suggested my teammates to investigate what a future CAMPUS Asia Program should be like. Most of us were CAMPUS Asia members and we delved into possibilities to develop the existing program. We proposed a more inclusive model encompassing both Northeast and Southeast Asian high school students to help them to formulate “East Asian regionalism” through exchange programs. In the meantime, I could observe various policies and approaches taken by CJK and Southeast Asian nations. One clear thing is that education can be an effective remedy to political tension as it would train young people who are more like-minded, open to cooperation in the long run. We made it to the final stage and got an honour to present at the Global Public Policy Network 2021 where we received a positive feedback from Prof. Janow, who is Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University.

Outside of the online classroom, I travelled to various cities to indulge myself with tasty Japanese foods and 'onsen's while practicing social distancing as much as I could. As I walked on popular, but quiet streets while looking at many closed stores in famous touristic destinations such as Kyoto and Sapporo, I could easily feel that the pandemic ravaged local economy. On the other hand, I also saw hopes when passing by bustling streets in Fukuoka and Kobe where many youngsters enjoyed what they were doing. During the Olympics period, I watched many sports competitions, intensely rooting for the Korean and Japanese football teams with my friends. Amazed by wonderful performances made by Japanese athletes, I wished Tokyo would have been more vibrant with lots of international visitors enthusiastically celebrating the festival. Simultaneously gazing at the Olympic symbol hung on Tokyo Skytree and seemingly exhausted Olympic athletes sitting on a passage in front of the entrance of Sensoji where almost all stores were closed at night, I felt it imperative that Northeast Asia as well as the world unite altogether to fight back against Covid-19.
To sum up, my CAMPUS Asia Program at UTokyo has been filled with unexpected challenges and obstacles due to restrictions caused by the pandemic, but there were also joys thanks to the excellent student support from all GraSPP staff, to whom I would like to offer my sincerest gratitude.
