Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:
I became interested in international cooperation after participating in an internship at a child education support NPO in the Philippines during my undergraduate years. I was particularly interested in educational development and wanted to deepen my expertise, so I applied to the Ogawa Seminar.
Ogawa Seminar is an environment where I can concentrate on my research and grow while engaging in friendly competition with motivated classmates who share the same goals, receiving inspiration from seniors who are already active in the field, and encouraged by each other. This is a good place for you if you are interested in educational development or international organizations.
