Description
Hakusan Geo, a student club at a private university, uses English to promote the Hakusan Tedorigawa UNESCO Global Geopark to attract international tourists. In 2024, the project received a grant from the University Consortium Ishikawa for regional issue research support. Among many initiatives, the students created an English-Japanese picture book on the 400-year history of local craft, cypress weaving, in collaboration with Hakusan City and local artist residents. Through this project, students learned about their community from residents, received support from the municipality, and contributed to the community using their English skills and youthful creativity.
