As part of its hometown activities, GAMBA OSAKA collaborated with Osaka Prefectural Suita Higashi High School to implement a problem-solving learning program during the "Comprehensive Inquiry Time" period.
This initiative, themed "Looking at Modern Society," aims to have students confront real-world issues, gather and analyze information, and then plan and propose solutions as a team.

■ Program Overview
In this program, students used GAMBA OSAKA's activities and initiatives in their hometown as case studies to think proactively about social issues and challenge themselves to devise solutions through team discussions, research, and presentations.
Furthermore, club staff members participated as instructors, sharing information about the club's activities, the rewards and challenges of their work, which also served as an opportunity to foster the students' perspectives on careers.

■ Implementation details
Lectures and assignments presented by companies (organizations)
Group-based research activities (investigation, analysis, and project planning)

Final presentation and critique

Over the course of approximately two months of inquiry-based learning, the students deepened their understanding of real-world applications by repeatedly setting, testing, and refining hypotheses.

In the final presentation, each team presented the results of their research and proposed solutions to the problems from their own unique perspectives.
High school students presented flexible ideas on a variety of themes, including regional issues, the value of sports, and their connection to sustainability, leading to very lively discussions.
Furthermore, the critique session included feedback from club staff, providing students with a valuable opportunity to learn about real-world perspectives.

GAMBA OSAKA will continue to support the learning and growth of children who will lead the next generation through collaboration with educational institutions in our hometown, and promote the provision of value to the local community.
