On Session 6, I set a little challenging thesis to the class: SDGs.

Asked all students to watch the web seminar by Nikkei on 14th May and set their opinion about any session at this seminar (https://channel.nikkei.co.jp/e/sdgs0514, https://adweb.nikkei.co.jp/sdgs0514_dl/). I am sure that this topic is above their understanding for the real world, but raised the bar as they should be asked at least some of the topics on SDGs at their recruit interview. Tough, but kept this thesis for a stimulus purpose.

At one of the sessions, one of my best pal, Hiro Mizuno (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiromichi_Mizuno), commented many times that the current COVID-19 should be a game-changer for implementing SDGs for the real economy. Hiro also commented that he was told that “SDGs seemed interesting. But it was like a religion” before, but now the US and Europe are changing their assessment to EDG’s and the current COVID-19 may cement this trend; I completely agree with his view.
