Today’s Activity-Student Session in University of Copenhagen, Faculty of Life Science
We 7 members all joined an event titled”UC-Todai/ IR3S Workshop: Designing a Sustainable Society under Impacts of Climate Change in a Post COP15 World,” organized by the University of Copenhagen (UC) and IR3S, Todai on the 8th of December. In the morning, there was a pre-workshop organized by students, titled “a Long-term Cooperation InitiativeS towards a Law Carbon Society, abbreviated by “LCS towards LCS.” We had more than 30 students from Todai, UC, Australia National University, National University of Singapore, ATH, Austria Technology University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology coming to participate the morning session.
The main purpose of creating this student session is to stimulate young generations’ ideas about how to achieve an eco-society, say a “low-carbon society”. Since October, students from Todai and UC had contributed much efforts in order to organize the event and to figure out our suggestions to the LCS towards LCS. Through the workshop, we not only completed our mission, facilitated the discussion successfully, shared those thoughtful proposals based on various cultural and social backgrounds, but also exchanged the critics and comments on each other’s ideas in order to achieve a better suggestion.

During the afternoon session, we students revealed the results that we achieved in the morning session. There was an awarding ceremony held in the historical beautiful lecture auditorium hall. Each award-receiver was gave a short period of time to appeal his/her proposal and to receive questions from the chair.
Being one the staffs who organized this student session, I felt that we have done a pretty good job to facilitate the discussion in such a limited time and successfully acquired the results that we have expected. Last but not least, we students coming from various countries and academic backgrounds have established the network among us, thus open a door for further and future cooperation!
