On 10th of September 2010, we were invited to give presentation and participate in poster sessions at an international conference at Ikebukro Campus of Rikkyo University. As the agenda focused on "Growing Asian ESD activities: Expand, communicate and make it visible", the keynote speech was made by Mr. Kartikeya Sarabhai of Centre for Environment Education in India, followed by sectional meetings in the 2nd session where "Development in farming community", "Climate changes" and "Urban Sustainability" were discussed mainly by the members who had been participating in "Asian ESD" activities. Our Birdhouse Project presentation was done in the 3rd session "Corporate ESD activities". Within limited allocation of 15 minutes, we explained our concept and past activities by PowerPoint presentation.
In the exchange party held after the sessions, we have received warm compliments from Mr. Sarabhai from India and Mr. A.T. Ariyaratne the founder and director of Sarvodaya Movement in Sri Lanka that it was "Extraordinarily intriguing", added to a proposal to launch our offices in both India and Sri Lanka. It was fortunate opportunity to make our activities known by many people; our sincere gratitude goes to Mr. Shohei Fukui of Promotional Forum that hosted "The Decade of ESD/ International Festival" event.
