Summary

AAEE x ENVIRONMENT ~ UNITE Bangladesh, Japan, Nepal, Vietnam ~ is a program conducted by Asia-based organization AAEE (see appendix). Regardless of having been host to more than 30 international summits, UNITE will be the first program to see students from Vietnam, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Japan discuss online for a week, in a clash of ideas, cultures, and values. What is more, this project was planned completely by student organizers from the four nations and with the supervision of professors from different countries, including Prof. Seki, president of the organization. In the program, participants will choose a particular environmental issue they are concerned with after brainstorming about five categories, air, water, soil, fire, and life. Now, the final goal is for international teams to come up with a solution which is possible and creative. Moreover, the final event, which will be a chance for participants to show the results of the research and guests to learn new insights about the environment, will have each team receive feedback from Mr. Kuwajima, Senior Director, JTEKT North America Corporation.
