The 3rd Yamaguchi Future Restoration School (Yamaguchi Future Restoration Meeting) was held on Sunday, October 7 at the Yamaguchi Kirara Expo Memorial Park Multipurpose Dome (Venue of Yamaguchi Yume Hana Expo) in Yamaguchi City, with 9 students from Okayama University.

　The two students presented a plan for regional revitalization as a team of the “will” exploration camp held in August. Three international students also provided advice from other teams as in August. After that, we called World Café, we exchanged opinions with members of other teams and students from outside the prefecture on presentation contents and regional revitalization. Four people from Kirihara Seminar also participated in the World Café. Tsugumasa Muraoka, Governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture, and Takeshi Yoshimura, President of Yamaguchi Financial Group, Inc. also participated in discussions with the students. Isn't it a unique opportunity for students to discuss with the top of the political and business world in the prefecture?

　Through the Yamaguchi Future Restoration School's three programs (July, August, October), students seemed to deepen exchanges, touched on various opinions, and broadened their horizons. In order to make the most of your experience here, I would like you to work hard to acquire academic knowledge (learning at university), which is the basis of your thinking.

※We also participated in the 2017 Commemorative Ceremony and the 2017 Youth International Symposium.
