Outline this event
inochi Gakusei Innovators’ Program [i-GIP] is a program hosted by the inochi WAKAZO Project, a student organization whose mission is "to create as the younger generation, a society that protects life". During the four-month program, students from junior high and high schools collaborate with university students and work together to find solutions to healthcare issues. This year, the theme is "In the Face of a Heart Failure Pandemic, What Will You Do?" and 20 teams are participating in the Kanto region.
How can we protect "life" through our daily lives, as non-healthcare workers in the "super-aged" society in Japan? We are constantly struggling to produce an answer to this incredibly puzzling question.
Today, as technology becomes highly developed and healthy life expectancy is extended year by year, some movements are even being made toward achieving immortality. Though, more people are voicing the struggle to live and discussions on euthanasia are also growing the numbers. It can be said that directly confronting the issue of life - and inevitably, death too - as we move forward, will serve as a compass showing the direction in which the future of humanity is headed.
This program is filled with a range of great opportunities - from listening to an academic speech on the historical analysis of life to watching presentations by junior high and high school students on "Protecting Lives that are Currently Unprotected". So please join us, to take time to consider and discuss one another.
