In "Yuri Education Center", I fulfill the positions of Chief Sustainability Officer, Social Impact Director, and educator. It is an independent educational institution dedicated to promoting active learning methods. Students are immersed in a dynamic learning environment where they gain proficiency in science, sustainability, and English. They are encouraged to identify pressing issues, set achievable goals, and proactively implement solutions. If there is anything that can make this world peaceful and sustainable, that is EDUCATION.
I received the Education 2.0 Conference Outstanding Leadership Award in February 2025. Our educational philosophy: WE courageously DISCUSS, actively LEAD, and collectively ACT. In "Yuria’s Happy English program", many parents and children, aged 4 months to 3 years, enjoy learning English songs and sustainability topics. I read a lot of books about animals, sea creatures, and nature. I also empower women especially mothers who have small children. In our center, students aged 4 to 18 learn math, science, and social studies both in Japanese and English. Students aged 8 and above participate in sustainability classes, discussions, presentations, and workshops. I regularly conduct workshops of SDG 12 responsible consumption and production. Each student selects and presents their own SDG 12 topic. In our Zoom sessions, I encourage students to speak and courageously communicate with people from all over the world including students aged 8 to 18, sustainability practitioners, professors, and adult attendees.
Also, I am committed to a sustainable future by making products (YURINDI) from recycled materials, helping lower-income communities with the sales, and promoting their independence through intermediate care and educational support. My sandal project is a signature project. Durable and fashionable sandals are made from used motorcycle tires and clothes. I am uniting the world with great traditional craftsmanship to help realize a sustainable world. I hold experiential studies and in-depth academic discussions around the 17 SDGs. Our current emphasis is on helping communities in promptly securing safe water collection through the use of our sustainable protective footwear.
