The 2nd online event of "JOES Davos Next" project for this year is forthcoming. “JOES Davos Next” project is designed to provide learning opportunities for juveniles studying in Japan and overseas, who are the next generation of leaders, to develop their interests in global issues and to foster their autonomy to "research, think, communicate, and take action".
