Business Experience Workshop 2 2024/2025

Business Experience Workshop 2nd edition:
Participating in the present for a more sustainable future

How and what can be done to make a company more sustainable? What is the 2030 Agenda? How is a start-up company born? How do we work in Japanese while collaborating with other like-minded people?
If you too want to find the answer to these questions, come on board and work alongside executives from Mitsubishi Corporation, the BEW team, and many other guests and people interested in the same topics!
The main activity of this workshop will be to think together in Japanese and develop as a group comprehensive proposals to address environmental and social sustainability issues, while also thinking about your own future start-up!

The collaborative goals (協働の目標 ) for these workshops are:
① ビジネス体験（Business Development Experience)
② 社会貢献 Social Contribution
③ 協働力（共創力）Collaborative Skills (Co-creating Skills)
④ 多文化理解（他者理解・自己理解） Multicultural Understanding (Understandings Others and Yourself)
⑤ 省察力（次につなげる力）Reflective Skills (for the future)
⑥ あなた自身の目標（Your own objectives）

Among this year’s starting macro-themes you will find:
– Cortina and Veneto region studies about tourism de-centralization in connection with the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. This topic can be expanded to Japan as well, using Osaka Expo 2025 as an important discussion starter;
– Marketing and living changes for aging society (mutual help students-aged persons, or amplification of market segment 70-90, …);
– Communication between Italy and Japan SME (incoming-outgoing): identifying issues and solutions;
Further development of 2023/24 themes, which had the city of Venice as their focus.

The meetings will mainly be held in Japanese: we expect you to actively participate both in class with interventions and observations and at home with the activities assigned during each meeting.
