NEC Corporation (TSE:6701) and the KEEP Foundation will host an
environmental education program called "NEC World Children's Nature
Club"(1) for three days, March 24th to March 26th, enabling
children in Indonesia, Taiwan, China, Japan, the Philippines, and
Malaysia to interact with one another using information and
communications technology (ICT).
This program is designed to train children's awareness of the
natural environment and create a global perspective, and has been
held every year since 2008 to investigate the potential of applying
ICT to environmental education.
When the program starts, participants in five regions (Indonesia,
China, Japan, the Philippines, and Malaysia) will explore hills and
fields, carry out cooking, handicrafts, and other projects with
natural materials, and engage in a cultural exchange with a
conference call using Skype, all with the support of staff from NEC
and local organizations in each region. In addition, Taiwanese
children will participate alongside Japanese children in Japan.
Akiko Shikimori, General Manager of the Corporate Communications
Division and Sustainability Promotion Office at NEC commented as
follows. "NEC is promoting environmental education based on its
'NEC Group Principles for Conserving Biodiversity'(2) established
in 2010. Through various environmental programs, NEC is
contributing to the achievement of the 'Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs)' established in 2015 by 193 United Nations member
countries."
The NEC Group is promoting "social solutions projects" which create
social value in the form of safety, peace of mind, efficiency, and
fairness on a global scale. By combining the latest cutting-edge
ICT and knowledge, NEC is working to achieve an efficient and
refined society in which people can live brighter and richer
lives.
