What is WWL?

In order to develop innovative global human resources who can play an active role in the world in the future, we are utilizing educational resources such as advanced curriculums developed at upper secondary schools, continuing on with the achievements of the Super Global High School Project, and developing a system of research and development for sustainable efforts. The aim of this system (AL Network) is to provide advanced learning to high school students through holding international conferences and collaborating on projects with common themes with other participating high school students, universities, companies, and international organizations in Japan and abroad.

Framework of research and development

The name of research and development

Fostering innovative global human resources that contribute to "world peace and coexistence"

Objectives and goals of research and development

With Nagasaki being the cornerstone of Japan’s modernization and a city directly impacted by the horrors of atomic weaponry, the city has the mission of seeking and spreading world peace. We will collaborate with others to create new value and transform our future society for the better by fostering global human resources who can do it. To that end, we regard Nagasaki as a “crossroad” where diverse cultures, values, and social issues intersect. We educate with words like “collaboration” and “co-creation” between Japan and overseas, the fields of literature and science, and between urban and remote areas. As we develop our activities, we will enhance the following seven abilities formulated as “WWL7”.

1. Discovery and problem solving: The ability to proactively face and approach solutions to problems that are discovered and defined by oneself.
2. Creativity: The ability to use what one has learned to create new value.
3. Information analysis/Utilization: Ability to grasp things from various angles and select, analyze, and utilize information.
4. Self-expression: Ability to send thoughts and opinions and influence others.
5. Collaboration: Having the motivation and attitude to collaborate with diverse people through dialogue and discussion.
6. Motivation to learn: Having the motivation and attitude to be interested in academic and to pursue advanced learning by oneself.
7. Global citizenship: Possessing a stance of seeking world peace and contributing to a sustainable society.
