Call for Participants: 64th International Student Conference in Japan

The main component of the conference is a discussion with table members. In this year, there are 6 tables including Heterosexism, Game-changers Democracy and Global Order, Designer Babies, 21st Century Education, The Global Rise of Religious Violence, and Legal Foundation on Human Rights. You will choose one from these and study about it with other table members from different parts of the world, which leads to the final proposal as the youth generation.
