A joint fieldwork for GRM program courses: Group Work Practice I and III was conducted. 

The fieldwork was held for the first time in two years and also postponed the schedule due to the COVID pandemic. Students of the Graduate School of Global Studies joined the GRM students and it became a group of different nationalities and fields of study. 

In addition to geo-hiking and visiting a geothermal power plant, each group worked on their groupwork for the presentation on the last day.
