In the Abe Seminar (3rd year), we hold a joint seminar every year with the Abe Yuji Seminar (Social Security Theory) at Tohoku Fukushi University and the Kumazawa Yumi Seminar (Social Security Theory, 2nd and 3rd year) at Tohoku Gakuin University, focusing on the themes of social security and social welfare.
We held a joint seminar in December 2012. A lively discussion took place based on research reports from each seminar. Several members of the Abe Seminar (2nd year students) also participated.

This year's report theme
- Depopulated areas: The reality facing Japan.
- The Untold Story of Being Turned Away at the Door - Welfare Recipients
- Job hunting for people with disabilities: The environment surrounding people with physical disabilities.
- Woman's Generation ~Japan Women's Conference~
Impressions from the Abe Seminar (2nd year students)
This was a very valuable experience, and I truly feel glad that I participated in the joint seminar. (omitted) When preparing my presentation for the seminar, I had many questions, such as how long the presentation should be, how many slides to use, and how to organize the slides, but listening to this presentation answered all my questions. Next year, I will also be in the position to present at that event, so I would like to further improve my skills this year and work hard to become a senior that the next generation of juniors can look up to.
