They attended a lecture by Ms. Tada Yayoi, former ryokan proprietress, who spoke on the value of nursing and disaster‑response experience from the 2025 Noto Peninsula earthquake, followed by group work and a city walk that emphasized disaster‑support skills.

On July 25, 2026, first‑year students of the Child Development Department at International Pacific University (IPU) organized and volunteered at the "Fureai Summer Festival" held on the Hyogo‑prefecture Hakodani Riverbank.
