“Japan-Global Student Peer Roundtable” provides online discussion opportunity among peer high school students from the US and Japan. The theme will be Global warming and cross cultural difference in education between Japan and the US (theme is subject to change). JSIE directors will facilitate the discussion and help exchange various ideas among students from different background.
The Roundtable discussion will last 1.5 hours, and is for high school students to participate online and engage in group discussions. We can accommodate English and/or Japanese speakers. This Roundtable series provides participants not only the opportunity to share your own views, but also get inspired from how others view the world differently. JSIE thinks that such an opportunity will impact your thinking that may help to navigate your future global career. You will need a zoom or Teams environment. We welcome high school students who are interested in Japan or in discussing issues with Japanese students. We'd appreciate your kind help to those ESOL students who are joining the discussion.

Please note the following guidelines for student service through live virtual platforms:
- A student’s parent/guardian must provide the nonprofit with written approval of the student’s participation in the virtual platform prior to the student serving/volunteering.
- Students must use personal/private accounts (not MCPS student accounts) to engage in the virtual platform.
- Students will only engage with others under the direct supervision of a nonprofit supervisor. The nonprofit supervisor will be directly present in the virtual space (including any breakout sessions) at all times.
- The nonprofit supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If the nonprofit supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur.
- Virtual sessions will not be recorded.
- Students should not share or upload any videos, pictures, or images of themselves, unless the nonprofit organization has obtained a signed form/waiver from the student’s parent/guardian authorizing permission/release.
- Students’ email addresses/home addresses or any personally identifying information will remain protected and not shared.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home until the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
