JAPAN 2001 SCIENCE, CREATIVITY & THE YOUNG MIND WORKSHOP
UK-Japan Young Scientists Working Together
by
Dr. Eric Albone

Patron: The Rt. Hon the Lord Jenkin of Roding
A Japan 2001 Festival Event devised and organized by Clifton Scientific Trust
Bristol, UK, July 22-30, 2001

The more we can build international links among young people, particularly in the field of science which is itself entirely international in its impact, the better it will be for the future of the human race and the world we inhabit.
Rt Hon the Lord Jenkin of Roding, Workshop Patron, welcoming the students to the Japan 2001 Workshop

Most of all, I welcome the young people from our two countries whose energy and enthusiasm will pioneer such an exciting and important new venture.
Lord Sainsbury of Turville, Minister for Science and Innovation

I learned a lot about different fields of science this afternoon. But what has struck me deeply is how much you all have learned, not just about subjects that you have been working on, but also about each other's cultures, each other's life styles, and even language. Professor Marie Conte-Helm, Director-General, Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation

· Post-16 students from schools across Britain and Japan came together in Bristol to work for a week in small UK-Japan teams on a wide range of genuine open-ended science-related explorations that challenged their ingenuity and creativity.

· The student teams, led by top scientists, engineers, and social scientists, worked in the fields of Aeronautics, Archaeology, Chemistry, Earthquake Engineering, Environment, Ethics in Medicine, Space Science, Science through Theatre, Vulcanology and Wildlife Conservation. At the end of the week each Team made a public presentation of its achievements.

· In the process the students not only put their school knowledge to use and discovered something of the "scientist in themselves." Also, by living and working together, they came to share and value each other's ways of thinking and working.

This is the first time any such enterprise bringing young people from Britain and Japan together in a science context has been attempted.

The Workshop was rapidly and heavily over-subscribed by UK students with the minimum of advertising and was also over-subscribed in Japan. In both countries, two-thirds of the applications came from young women. The membership of the Teams was as follows:
