On March 7, students from extracurricular activity group Kanazawa University Volunteer Support Station and their advisor, Lecturer Kaisei Harada from Faculty of Economics and Management, Institute of Human and Social Sciences, visited the Miyagi Museum of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Memorial Museum, and the Ishinomaki City Earthquake Relics Site Okawa Elementary School, together with students from the Tohoku University Extracurricular and Volunteer Activities Support Center SCRUM.
A study tour was held with the purpose to learn about the situation at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, the damage, and the recovery from the disaster. At Okawa Elementary School in particular, SCRUM students acted as storytellers, and the students learned about the situation, decision-making, and evacuation routes at the time from immediately after the disaster until the tsunami reached the school.
Kanazawa University Volunteer Sapporo Station and SCRUM plan to continue their collaboration in the future, such as raising awareness of the importance of disaster prevention and prevention of weathering through storytellers who learn from the Noto Peninsula earthquake, and jointly holding antenna shops for products in the disaster-stricken areas with the aim of revitalizing the local economy.
