For the FIRST TIME IN JAPAN, a tournament management is learnt in a form of for-credit course. This is currently being supported by debate alumni who not only have tournament management experience, but sales/management experience in famous companies in Japan.  We believe this “active learning” contributes to the spirit of “decent work” under this goal.
