The first day started with ice-breaking games and self introduction,followed
by explanation of the program.
Next day, each country team made a presentation on their "country report"
which explained about the environmental situation for each country. The
length for each presentation was 15 minutes. By choosing the order by lot,
Team Malaysia delivered the fisrt presentation, followed by Team Singapore,
Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The issues raised by
teams varied from nature conservation related matters such as illegal
deforestation and endangered wild spiecies to socio-environmental topics as
waste management and 3R. It was found that in a country like Singapore the
environmental issues are widely recognized socially and politically with the
environmental initiatives led by the government, yet in some countries there
are not enough government-led initiatives to protect the environment.
On the final day, participants shared in turn, using the small posters,
their own problems or difficulties they face when they proceeded with the
environmental activities. Then they discussed how they can solve these
issues. Some mentioned about time constraints as they are students. Many
pointed out that it was difficult to raise fund for the activities, continue
the activities, raise peoples' awareness around them and find members for
the activities.
After that, they wrote down what they would like to learn from the on-site
training and shared them among the participants. The most common answer was
how they were doing to raise awareness in Japan. They mentioned they were
interested in the environmental initiatives or environmental education in
Japan as well as civil environmental activities. The second common answer
was how to balance the economical development and environmental
conservation. They left the training venue in the evening, July 31 and went
back home.
