Zozan Course
Innovators doing new things help students develop the ability to take on challenges
These lectures feature many different guest speakers including entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and government officials. The guest speakers talk about their specific efforts, the ambitions behind them, and other topics. We hope students will be inspired by these lectures to begin thinking about their future visions and ways of living. Another aim is that, by hearing from guest speakers who are working on real issues with no answers, students will feel it is necessary to develop the ability to come up with hypotheses, put them into practice in actual work sites, and resolve problems.

Having a clear future vision indicates what should be done right now.

This class was named after Zozan Sakuma, who quickly acquired Western learning and worked on social reform at the end of the Edo Period. We welcome innovators who are trying to transform society in good ways—including entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and government officials—to speak about their specific initiatives, aspirations, and other topics. Seeing these people working on actual issues, which do not necessarily have answers, inspires students to start thinking about their own ways of living.
