On Monday, November 16, a seminar on LGBT+ and GSRM was organized by the Student SDGs Promoter.
This seminar was held on the occasion of “Trans Awareness Week” (November 13-20) to bring people to share the difficulties faced by LGBT+ and GSRM people and to encourage everybody to think about future solutions.

This seminar was held online, so that foreign universities can also participate. Student SDGs Promoter, Ms. Elisa Claire Alemán Carreón from Information Science and Control Engineering of Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT), lectured clearly the basics of LGBT+ and GSRM, relevance with the SDGs, and challenges for social minorities in Japan and overseas. Also, presentation materials were prepared in both English and Japanese. This seminar provides an opportunity to obtain knowledge such as information of support groups and help desks, agenda of sexual diversity and sexual minority, and gender equality initiatives.

NUT will continue to actively support the activities of students and promote initiatives to achieve the SDGs as a team.
