3. 2. AIM OF THE YSCJ SUMMER SCHOOL
Summer School 2016 aims to extract the essence of YSCJ and to offer transformational
experiences to our students through academic classes and activities that emphasize the
three strengths that we aim to nurture in our student.
1. Openess to Diversity
2. Agenda Setting
3. Ability to face challenges
Discussion-based courses are central to the Summer School program, in order to
encourage student participation. The program is scheduled to offer academic subjects,
special courses, and a variety of extracurricular activities and special event.
OPENESS TO DIVERSITY
One of the most striking aspects that participants of YSCJ¡¯s summer school experience is the
exposure to a truly diverse community. The student body represents different countries,
cultures, languages, religions, and family backgrounds. By living together in a residential
environment, students can learn from each other the differences and similarities in
perspectives that exist throughout the world. Through discussions and online simulations in the
International Negotiation Program, students observe how their values compare to those of
their peers, and learn to negotiate to achieve a goal. Everyone at YSCJ learns how building
empathy and improving mutual understanding can lead to a better future for everyone in the
world.
AGENDA SETTING
Do you have creative, new ideas? How would you express your feelings and thoughts in
practice? YSJC will offer you ways to see the larger picture and to think across boundaries.
Through our Design Innovation course, students learn not only to create solutions but also to
define problems. You will learn how to identify problems that exist in the world around you,
and unleash your creativity and strategic planning solutions in ¡°design thinking¡± classes similar
to those pioneered at Stanford University. The classes will allow you to experience first hand
how creative solutions can grow from a combination of imagination and practical knowledge.
ABILITY TO FACE CHALLENGES
Our Leadership by Design program will provide opportunities for you to be responsible and
make decisions, and help you learn how to set your mind to challenge yourself and not shy
away from failure: workshops will encourage self-analysis and improve interpersonal skills;
outdoor team activities will challenge and develop problemsolving skills; and student-initiated
activities will provide opportunities for first-hand experience in real world leadership
challenges.
