First, as part of the RSDC program, we participated in pre-orientation and were divided into groups. In each group, we discussed many things, such as culture, customs, preferences, and so on. This first activity was very meaningful and important for me because it really helped me get to know the group members and it was an opportunity to get along with them. As a result, we were able to proceed smoothly through the MS1 and AES phases of the program.
    In the MS1 phase, we learned about the COVID-19 situation in various countries and discussed countermeasures against unprecedented double disasters of the COVID-19 pandemic and natural calamities. This allowed us take notice of each country’s weak points and the importance of preparedness.
    In the AES phase, each group discussed one theme, such as landslides, floods, flood risk mitigation plans, and earthquakes, and gave a presentation. Our group discussed an earthquake risk mitigation plan in a small developing nation, and considered measures based on preparedness.
    Thanks to this program, I became much better at communicating in English and it was fun for me to chat with members in English. I also realized how important it is to express myself. The discussion would not have proceeded without members’ opinions and I was often asked my opinion. Overall, I am very pleased to have taken this program and strongly recommend it.
