President’s MessagePresident of Sophia UniversityYoshiaki TerumichiToday, we are challenged with many global issues coming to a head. Given poverty, issues in education, environmental problems, complex international affairs, and the so-cial changes brought about by advances in AI and big data technologies, our future is unpredictable.It is therefore essential that young people, the hope of the future, are able to have fore-sight into changes in society and their own futures, as well as being capable of facing and addressing any issue with flexibility. As an academic institution of the Society of Jesus with the educational philosophy of “Men and Women for Others, with Others,” Sophia University is committed to fostering young people who will bring an inclusive society to reality. It is our mission to provide young people with opportunities to make valuable discoveries, to be stimulated, and to hone their abilities, all with an understanding that the current social transformation is a chance to realize social inclusion. It was a pleasure to be able to share such an outstanding time with our distinguished speakers. Pope Francis and United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres are two individuals who play important roles in addressing the issues of our time. I hope that the young people who were inspired by their words will also become professionals and play critical roles on the global stage.上智大学長曄道 佳明はじめに 今、私たちの目の前には、たくさんの地球規模の課題があります。貧困、教育問題、環境問題、複雑な国際関係、さらに人工知能やビッグデータの活用技術の進歩を考慮すると、次世代社会は予測できません。 だからこそ、未来を担う若者には、社会の変化や自分自身の将来を展望する力と、何事にも柔軟に向き合い対応する力が不可欠です。「他者のために、他者とともに」を教育精神とするカトリックイエズス会の教育機関として、本学は豊かな共生社会を実現する若者の育成に力を入れています。私たちの大きなミッションは、この時代の社会変革が質の高い共生社会の実現に向けた好機となることを信じ、若者にとって価値ある気づきや刺激、彼らの力を育む機会を与えることだと言えましょう。 今回、素晴らしい時間を生み出せたことを、本当に嬉しく思っています。世界において重要な責務を担う2人――教皇フランシスコ、アントニオ・グテーレス国連事務総長の言葉に触れた若者たちが、未来の世界を担う人材になることを願っています。2
