Nakano Nishi High School’s “ESD Coffee Club” engages in hands-on activities under the theme of “Creating a sustainable local community.” Through participation in environmental restoration efforts, environmental awareness campaigns, and fair-trade promotion, the students make the most of local resources while connecting with both their community and the wider world.

The club values student initiative and teamwork, providing a learning environment that fosters a deep sense of global and local interconnectedness. Their approach embodies the spirit of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) a learning framework that encourages students to think critically, take responsibility, and act for a more sustainable future.
