International Exchange Event for Japanese Elementary and Junior High School Students

“Let’s Search for Insects with Global Entomologists at Takaragaike Park”

Date	~~Wednesday afternoon, August 28, 2024~~
Location	~~Takaragaike Park (Areas including rich natural environments besides Kyoto International Conference Center)~~
Event summary	An outdoor observation event will be held at the Kyoto International Conference Center and the adjacent Takaragaike Pond with the aim of increasing children’s interest in natural science through exchanges with entomologists from overseas. We are looking for participants who would like to take part in this event and interact with Japanese elementary and junior high school students. This event will be co-hosted with the Women in Entomology program of ICE2024 Kyoto. Participants will be divided into small groups with several elementary and junior high school students as well as Japanese university students and will observe and collect insects in the park while interacting with the children.

*The original plan was insect observation at Treasure Pond, but as the day of the event is expected to be extremely hot, it has changed to an indoor-focused insect observation event. See below for details. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Poster Presentation by primary, junior high and senior high school students

Date & Time	Wednesday, August 28, 11:45 AM – 1:30 PM
Venue	Event Hall

At ICE2024Kyoto, we will hold a poster presentation by elementary, junior high, and high school students who will be the next generation in entomology. This poster presentation aims to promote the development of the field of entomology, support participants’ exploratory activities, and improve their qualifications through discussions with researchers in Japan and overseas. Participants could present their posters at the same venue as the global entomologists. Students are encouraged to introduce their entomology research and club activities in English through posters and/or demonstrations. Students deepen their knowledge through discussions with global entomologists.
