The third year Global Course students had a special version of Innovation Studies III on July 12 (F) as one of the major events during the Toba Global Summit 2019. We invited 19 university and graduate school students, as teaching assistants (TA), from 12 different nations and areas. During the session, Toba students were divided into their research project teams, and with a valuable assistance of the TAs, they were required to make up their unique proposals to the issue they had worked on and had written the research papers about, and then they were going to present their ideas with a poster. Looking back on the first occasion where they had been assigned to perform a poster session, I could see a significant progress in their basic presentation skills such as effective delivery, eye contact, and posture.

They need to continue working on the academic challenge of creating universal values out of what they have learned in the course of their research projects, trying hard to find the last one piece of the "missing clue" in the last half of the days left until they graduate. Finally, as one of the staff members in charge of Innovation Studies III this year, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the university students who came all the way to Toba High School, and made every effort possible to make this event successful.
