Excerpt: (translated into English from Japanese original article)

The learning process enables participants to engage in a number of activities, ranging from self- initiated fieldwork, conducting intensive contextual studies and collecting data through surveys and interviews in group consultations in order to complete consulting proposals for stakeholders. After the fieldwork, the participants expressed their enthusiasm for the project; one student expressed, "I would like to propose better ideas based on the inspiration I gained in the forest.”
