CURA Reflections by MN5172024 EMMA LAU MIN ERN

It was the collaboration aspect, we learnt so much from one another and understood the different realities of people all over the Asia Pacific region and how it's all so interconnected.

2024-11-02 03:33:25 UTC

Many strong ideas

2024-11-02 03:33:33 UTC

For sustainable development

2024-11-02 03:33:34 UTC

i can interact with students from other countries

a community

2024-11-02 03:33:40 UTC

how even though culture varies so strongly, we all are human beings at heart who love connection and communication

2024-11-02 03:34:02 UTC

Wonderful event ,A great initiative to bring together young people from across several countries to address common problems and find practical solutions .

I think it was perhaps narrowing down a problem. Since we as a global community face so many climate challenges choosing one to focus on was definitely a task

2024-11-02 03:34:26 UTC

2024-11-02 03:34:31 UTC

Nothing to add in this regard

2024-11-02 03:34:40 UTC

Learn more about sustainability in different countries

Why and How

2024-11-02 03:34:44 UTC

The theories of sustainable development, astonishing methods to complete this goal and the solutions in different countries.

Seeing students …

2024-11-02 03:34:45 UTC

enhancing positive collaborations with bright and positive ideas for the future gives me a sense of renewed optimism.

2024-11-02 03:35:03 UTC

Communication is key when working together with others from different timezones and everyone has something to contribute to the poster

s23907 — 2024-11-02 03:35:22 UTC

Being environmentally friendly doesn't only help you to save the world from climate change, but it can also help your country or the world to develop in a better way, a more sustainable way.

My biggest takeaway is the being able to work along with people across other countries.

2024-11-02 03:35:28 UTC

s23907 — 2024-11-02 03:35:36 UTC

Being environmentally friendly doesn't only help you to save the world from climate change, but it can also help your country or the world to develop in a better way, a more sustainable way.

I learn lots of wonderful things!

2024-11-02 03:35:43 UTC

I learned to be more sustainably developed and to make my country better too!

HK_SDBNSM_Hu Tsz Lik

2024-11-02 03:35:45 UTC

My Bigger takeaway is understand what is the SDG

2024-11-02 03:35:45 UTC

Continue researching into new ways to advance the 3 SDGs

Biggest Takeaway

2024-11-02 03:35:49 UTC

I personally had a wonderful learning experience interacting with diverse cultures and communities. I made me realise the different approaches that could exist to the same problem. It fostered understanding about the problems and lifestyles of various countries. Lastly it gave me the opportunity to develop friendship across the globe for which I will be forever grateful.

2024-11-02 03:35:51 UTC

By exchanging opinions with high school students from different countries, we were able to gain ideas that we did not have ourselves.

2024-11-02 03:35:57 UTC

new aspects and knowledges acquired

2024-11-02 03:35:58 UTC

What I got most is how to use environmental protection knowledge to protect our earth.

2024-11-02 03:36:02 UTC

How i could interact with different individuals abroad and learn their methods of a sustainable development

2024-11-02 03:36:06 UTC

The method that Japanese people use double sash windows to cool down the inside of the house and terra well-tiles to absorb CO2

I think if we can start implementing our solutions in our schools we can definitely take a step forward in the positive direction

2024-11-02 03:36:21 UTC

Other students and I have different opinions and views during discussion.

2024-11-02 03:36:24 UTC

Interactions

2024-11-02 03:36:27 UTC

The communication with colleagues from different countries/regions requires courage and self-confident.

Honestly...

2024-11-02 03:36:28 UTC

to pick out a topic. the SDGs were so vast and it sparked spirited debates and lead to varying discussions about the problems of todays world. the people in my group were are so smart and we got the chance to really talk about the things that affect our respective countries

diyankamaljosephsugananth — 2024-11-02 03:36:28 UTC

Society as a whole is interconnected even with different cultures

time zones and indeed a lil bit of communication struggle

2024-11-02 03:36:35 UTC

2024-11-02 03:36:35 UTC

I meet new friends from Vietnam.🫶🫶

Also I learn more about SDGs from this two meetings.

What SDG problem in oher country

2024-11-02 03:36:38 UTC

2024-11-02 03:36:41 UTC

i have learned a lot of interesting things and i can also improve my english skills. Thanks

2024-11-02 03:36:41 UTC

It was astonishing to see some amazing collaborations between students from different countries and the process of working together to create a presentation was definitely something to learn a thing or two from <3

2024-11-02 03:36:42 UTC

It was very interesting to learn about the extent of diversity in our world. Listening to other students’ views was very enlightening and made me realise how different our societies are. Yet, despite this difference being able to come together to creat solutions and discuss global issues was very heartwarming.

Not enough Knowledge

2024-11-02 03:36:59 UTC

I found I didn’t have enough to talk about SDGs because I didn’t know enough. I have to be interested in my country’s environmental problems more.

2024-11-02 03:37:00 UTC

You can't go back to Hong Kong because of the typhoon in Taiwan.

diyankamaljosephsugananth — 2024-11-02 03:37:05 UTC

Start implementing the ideas in our daiy lives first

2024-11-02 03:37:22 UTC

I feel that the biggest problem was the communication. Because we are all in different time zones and communicating online, it can be difficult to get everyone engaged due to our differing schedules.

2024-11-02 03:37:34 UTC

I was a little confused because English is the only means of communication, but I did my best to get the message across.

Proposal

2024-11-02 03:37:40 UTC

We can summarise all decent ideas we have discussed and submit proposals to differnt levels of the society such as families, schools and the government.

My biggest challenge:

2024-11-02 03:37:40 UTC

I was a bit shy to present in front of a huge audience @ first, but got used to it soon resulting the end of one of my biggest weaknesses!

2024-11-02 03:37:45 UTC

I’ve learnt a lot of concepts and ways to achieve sustainability in different countries.

Time Zones

2024-11-02 03:37:48 UTC

It was slightly difficult to decide a common free time to connect due to the varying time zones and schedules

Language

2024-11-02 03:37:50 UTC

The Biggest challenge is the language My English is not good but I try my best in English

Not to dropout

2024-11-02 03:37:56 UTC

I can't go back to HK

2024-11-02 03:38:04 UTC

2024-11-02 03:38:15 UTC

I found that My English is not good and vocabulary level is not high . So I want to improve my English skill.I will study English more!

F1

2024-11-02 03:38:19 UTC

I made friends who love the same sport as me- Formula 1. over the last 2 weeks we've texted about how our favorite driver won the recent race and how amazing the battle was. Its funny how it transcends any and all boundaries

Great experience

2024-11-02 03:38:21 UTC

It was wonderful to communicate with different people around the world.

myplaygame080531 — 2024-11-02 03:38:24 UTC

My biggest takeaway is know what is SDGs and do and present the poster's skills

What is your biggest takeaway from this event?

2024-11-02 03:38:29 UTC

Takeaways orders from McDonald's and KFC

Breaking the ice

2024-11-02 03:38:32 UTC

I'd say breaking the ice between our teammates started off quite challenging but overtime it definitely got better and we started getting pretty comfortable with eachother

2024-11-02 03:38:38 UTC

I learned about the fact that carbon dioxide emitted in the lifetime of an object is very large, and that many countries are working together to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted.

2024-11-02 03:38:43 UTC

We can start by making changes in our daily lives to help contribute to the bigger picture.

2024-11-02 03:38:45 UTC

I learned about many topics

I am also happy to get the chance interact with people in different countries

2024-11-02 03:38:57 UTC

Start doing more research

I will...

2024-11-02 03:39:00 UTC

Try to establish sustainable activities in my village and help our school to be more sustainably developed too!

I could get a lot of new ideas from other countries’s students.

2024-11-02 03:39:01 UTC

My Biggest Takeaway is…

2024-11-02 03:39:15 UTC

To collaborate in a team work needs passion, dedication, commitment and a sense of belonging.

Most importantly, to hear upon others.

Miles, Wah Yan College Hong Kong

From my own point of view, the most challenging issue I face is communicate with other members since I’m shy

2024-11-02 03:39:19 UTC

I could learn about environment situations and current efforts in some countries. Also, I could get new perspectives from other stufents live in other countries.

2024-11-02 03:39:36 UTC

unstable connection

2024-11-02 03:39:37 UTC

our school experienced internet problems hehe (HK DLS)

2024-11-02 03:39:56 UTC

more research and see how we can implement these findings in daily life

2024-11-02 03:39:56 UTC

Knowing about the various efforts of other countries with regard to the problems we are facing now.

s23907 — 2024-11-02 03:39:59 UTC

We always think that being environmentally friendly is not related to us and causes us to know little about it, but shouldn't be like that. This is what I find the most difficult, getting some information from my memory and used lots of time to find some information online.

2024-11-02 03:40:08 UTC

Understand the situation in different countries/cities

2024-11-02 03:40:08 UTC

connection problems and most information is very vague on some topics

HK_SDBNSM_Lau Cheuk Kit

2024-11-02 03:40:09 UTC

Some of my group mates have a trip in Taiwan,we make the poster slowly.

2024-11-02 03:40:09 UTC

Language was difficult. It took me a long time to understand them because of their different habits and speed. However, it was good to learn new perspectives from each country.

2024-11-02 03:40:14 UTC

There are some problems that Japan don’t have. And the measures some countries are taking are new to me, so it was interesting.

2024-11-02 03:40:18 UTC

HK DLSSNT Selina I understand more about other countries sustainability

What was the biggest challenge you faced during the event?

2024-11-02 03:40:19 UTC

Definitely the time when I have to choose eat Mcdonald or KFC

Implementation

2024-11-02 03:40:21 UTC

Working on presentations regarding the 3 SDGs definitely helped me learn alot more about problems around the world and inspired me to start taking steps in order to make the world a better place

Start reducing emissions like taking public transport, and planting

2024-11-02 03:40:25 UTC

Communication

2024-11-02 03:40:26 UTC

I was nervous to speak up in a conference like this.

Learning from the other students the different sustainability problems from around the world

2024-11-02 03:40:28 UTC

The CURA program has provided me with an opportunity to connect with international students and learn about their hometown, as well as the challenges faced by their country, more specifically renewable energy sourcing, sustainable city development, and towards climate change.

Implementing Solutions in Schools

2024-11-02 03:40:37 UTC

One step that all of us could definitely take is to start from our surroundings. Implementing sustainable solutions in our schools and homes will be a wonderful stepping stone to over come the prevalent problems in our society and move towards a greener future

What is ONE action which you can take to further your idea

2024-11-02 03:40:54 UTC

Eating Chickens and Burgers

There were some issues with regard to communication. Since it was our first time we have missed some emails hence some topics of the days were not known to us. We also had difficulty in communication with different groups. Nevertheless these were minor issues. Our students learnt how to manage challenges during unexpected scenarios. Great work by the organizing committee.

2024-11-02 03:41:08 UTC

My Biggest Challenge…

2024-11-02 03:41:11 UTC

Communicating with others
Getting instructions about the infographic
Direction of presentation

Miles, Wah Yan College Hong Kong

2024-11-02 03:41:12 UTC

I was shocked that my vocabulary and my listening ability are low.

2024-11-02 03:41:22 UTC

It was uplifting to hear from students of different backgrounds and cultures about we all working for the common good of our planet Earth. It was really a unique experience to work with people from different countries, which not only broaden my horizons, but also let me understand different ways to tackle our common goal

University

2024-11-02 03:41:25 UTC

Now many universities around the world are looking at the SDGs, so we can learn more about the problems we need to solve sustainably. I want to take classes to learn, and can be a catalyst to take action for the world.

2024-11-02 03:41:34 UTC

English is hard to say

2024-11-02 03:41:40 UTC

i will improve my home garden and consume electricity with care

s23907 — 2024-11-02 03:41:40 UTC

Be more active in participating in those events promoting green habits and know more about them

2024-11-02 03:41:45 UTC

I think it is important to increase opportunities to think about SDGs and take actions.

2024-11-02 03:41:46 UTC

respect

myplaygame080531 — 2024-11-02 03:41:57 UTC

Because the school activities,let me do and prepare the poster is not enough time.

2024-11-02 03:41:57 UTC

Timer controlling more slowly and feels less nervous when present

Learn more about sustainability in other countries and their policies and measures taken for the sustainable development , got to interact with many students in various countries.

2024-11-02 03:42:03 UTC

collaborate and communicate

2024-11-02 03:42:10 UTC

the power of words is so deep and strong and I think one step I'd take as a student is just keep learning by communicating. Theres so much you can learn from a person by just talking to them and i think definitely to keep expanding on my knowledge and get information about the different avenues my idea can impact

2024-11-02 03:42:27 UTC

I couldn’t listening well and I couldn’t communicate well because my shyness.

I will adopt other solutions to mitigate the impacts from pollution in to my daily and future life

2024-11-02 03:42:43 UTC

2024-11-02 03:42:44 UTC

Pay even more attention to social issues now and think about them in connection with yourself.

Study hard

2024-11-02 03:42:44 UTC

To show that women can also take the roles in different aspects

Recycle plastic bottles

Dead Air

2024-11-02 03:43:03 UTC

Ice-breaking section is vital, to make the atmosphere more welcoming and engaging

It is a wonderful and precious opportunity for me to do a presentation in front of students from all around the world. I learnt a lot of presentation skills and the experience built up my confidence in public speaking.

2024-11-02 03:43:13 UTC

2024-11-02 03:43:32 UTC

It's difficult for me to tell my opinions in English because I have to use professional words to state about SDGs.

2024-11-02 03:43:32 UTC

We should use safety measures daily to save our environment and sustainability.

To select the most relevant content

2024-11-02 03:43:33 UTC

As the SDG goals about clean and affordable energy, sustainable development, and climate change cover such a wide range, it is quite difficult for us to choose what aspects about our city to include in the infograph, as well as to think about how to present the ideas.

2024-11-02 03:44:11 UTC

After this program, I have improved my knowledge from how to work in groups to expand my understanding of other countries. Besides, I also met a good leader and other talented students

International forum for sharing

2024-11-02 03:44:23 UTC

It was a blessing to listen to many from different countries who have shared their struggles and opinions regarding sustainable development. We have realized the interest that had grown up in the region towards saving the planet earth. The organizing committee has done a marvelous work. Many thanks from Mount Calvary High School Sri Lanka. We are privileged to be a part of this program.

2024-11-02 03:44:54 UTC

I think I can grow plants to reduce carbon dioxide. And I think I have to know about other countries’s problems.

it was the growth of personal thinking about the view of climate change. We can listen and share their opinion with the different language

2024-11-02 03:45:32 UTC

I learnd about their countries.And I also learnd about my country when I created presentation.There are a lot of vocabularies that I don't know in the meeting.I want to talk with many people who live in foreign countries and learn about country's traditional,solution of environment and something like that more through this meeting. Thank you so much!!

2024-11-02 03:45:43 UTC

2024-11-02 03:46:06 UTC

I face a challenge me in selecting out a topic as sustainability is a huge content .

At first, I didn’t know things which even Japanese doing, so I had to search it .

2024-11-02 03:46:23 UTC

it was the different about accent and the speaking skill

2024-11-02 03:46:26 UTC

borders don't matter

2024-11-02 03:47:15 UTC

it was surreal to see how many similarities there exist between us, whether it be our countries, our schools or even ourselves. it was so interesting to learn that SJI and SJBHS are so similar, both our schools are all boys till grade 10 and then co-ed in grades 11 and 12

2024-11-02 03:47:46 UTC

I was surprised to know that mobile pharmacy is not widely spread in Japan. So, I want more people to know about this and do give a speech to spread the use of mobile pharmacy.

Zoom

2024-11-02 03:47:49 UTC

We're not familiar with zoom, so it was difficult to have a conversation about zoom. For example, sharing the screen, changing my name are unknown skills. I really thought I needed to know about zoom.

firstly, to develop my ideas, we can do it in the schools, and share their view to another students

2024-11-02 03:47:53 UTC

Biggest takeaway

2024-11-02 03:48:32 UTC

It was a great experience and also I learned very interesting diverse facts about different countries. Even though we are from different countries and cultures we all love nature. This event helps me to grab more about environmental conservation methods and much more information. And this was an experience with so much fun and interesting facts.

2024-11-02 03:48:59 UTC

I thought that each country is making effort to be more sustainable and I found that what actions my country, Japan is taking to make cities sustainable . It was very precious time for me!

Now, we know a lot of solutions for solve environmental issues so it’s the time to action.

2024-11-02 04:05:53 UTC
