Training
"feel" from "learning";

私たちの研修は、知識を詰め込むだけの学びではなく、心と体で感じる体験型プログラムです。豊かな自然環境に身を委ね、都会の喧騒を離れて心をリセット。素朴でありながら贅沢な時間を過ごし、五感を研ぎ澄ませることで、新たな発想が生まれます。さらに、地域の人々との対話を通じて、地域課題や資源循環のリアルな現場を知り、視野を広げる機会を提供。これらの体験から自然と「気づき」が生まれ、ポジティブな状態でサステナビリティの本質と自社事業の可能性を探ることで、より実践的なアイデアへとつなげていきます。

・After participating in the forum, I researched compost and started. As a working adult and an employee, I will continue to take responsibility for my own actions and continue to face ESG while having fun.
-When you think of it as a "global environmental issue," you will be overly thought up, and you will be stopped thinking about what it is to do with your own life and what to do, but it was easy to imagine because there were many easy-to-understand examples that directly relate to your own life, such as segregation, on the theme of "garbage."
