マイプロジェクト長崎県Summit — 高校生の探究学習発表大会
The Story

Partnering with Katariba, a leading education NPO, we host an annual showcase where Nagasaki high school students present and share their inquiry-based learning projects. Now in its fourth year, the event has helped fuel growing momentum for inquiry-based education across the prefecture — last year, one participating team went on to win the Minister of Education Award.

Each year, we invite nearly 20 local professionals from diverse backgrounds to serve as mentors, offering feedback and dialogue on student presentations. In doing so, the event has also become a way of growing a broader community of inquiry supporters across the region.
