27equipped me with the knowledge and understanding of how things are done in Japan. I plan to leverage that in my future work, particularly in environmental audits that I will be conduct-ing as a government employee when I return to my country in two months’ time,” he said. He explained that the audit report will serve as the basis for Parliament decisions and actions. He ex-pressed his hope that some of the environmentally friendly prac-tices carried out in Japan will be adopted in Ghana. Sophie also aspires to contribute, as a government employee, to improving people’s lives and the environment. “Every time I observed litter floating in my country’s waters, I felt a sense of responsibility to take action. I am currently a postdoctoral re-searcher at Sophia University and I am gaining experience and developing expertise. Ultimately, I hope to return to my home country to contribute to positive change,” she said.She outlined how her time at Sophia University had broadened her knowledge and deepened her understanding of how, in addi-tion to issues related to waste management, diverse environmen-tal challenges are interconnected. “Interacting with professors and students, I gained insight into various types of ongoing research as well as the latest developments on both national and interna-tional policies and interventions,” she said. Masautso, who will be teaching hundreds of students every year when he returns to his university in September of next year, is eager to share knowledge about water and the environment he gained in Japan and to stimulate debate with his fellow faculty members and students. “I prefer to use the term ‘share knowledge’ rather than ‘transfer knowledge’ because I believe knowledge is in-herently equal. The key is to share and think together.”“I also hope to facilitate the establishment of mutually beneficial collaborative relationships between professors at my university in Malawi and Sophia University,” he said, describing himself as a “pollinator” connecting people and encouraging exchange of ideas and solutions.Mabel is seeking to return to the education sector in her coun-try. “I would like to be involved in the training of teachers and teacher trainees, with a particular focus on those responsible for preschool education. I would also like to advocate for curriculum change to provide better environmental education for the younger generation,” she said.She also aspires to give something back to Sophia University. “I hope that the university can benefit from me in return for the re-sources it spent on me, in a way that an investor would benefit from an investment,” she said. Furthermore, she suggested that she could contribute to fostering ties between Ghana and Japan by helping people from both countries learn each other’s language and culture and develop interests in each other’s country.The students who have been studying global environmental stud-ies on our campus are not merely acquiring knowledge and expe-rience in this field; they are also acting as ambassadors, fostering relationships between their countries and Japan.
