Changes

At Tohoku University's spring and summer seminars, students serve as "Sensei<nowiki>''</nowiki> which means a teacher and share with first-time students specific details of their student life, academic studies, research, and extracurricular activities, and what they can learn from them. Any student can become a sensei. Participants will design lessons based on their own experiences, interests, and problem awareness. These seminars have two objectives: diversity and agency. The former creates a university-based network of diverse learners, creating a place where everyone learns together while recognizing each other's diversity. The latter refers to the role of creating a conducive learning environment and conveying the joy of learning. This initiative will overcome the limitations of institutionalized university education and serve as a gateway to ambitious attempts at educational innovation.

TEDxTohokuUniversity, as a part of TEDx program, holds lots of conferences that include a variety of topics to spark discussions among different parties and inspire logical thinking. This project aims to provide a platform for students, professors, alumni and friends of Tohoku University to share their ideas, work and achievements with the community.
