Student Activities through WAIRA ACT, a Club for High School Students

WAIRA ACT is a club for high school students. In the local dialect of Japanese, waira means “we” and ACT is used to mean “taking action.” Combined, the name means “we take action” in English. 

It is a new kind of club spanning the local islands, high schools, and school grades to take action. Two years have passed since its formation. Here are a few of the actions that WAIRA ACT has taken during that time. 

【Creation and Sale of Goods】 

*Available for purchase at Oki Islands Geopark Museum 

【Creation of Ultra Marathon Volunteer T-shirts】   

Ultra Marathon volunteer T-shirts were created through the collaboration of WAIRA ACT, Oki Special Needs School, and San’in Panasonic. A hand towel with an original design is also in the works. 

2025 marks the third year of WAIRA ACT. The group intends to let everyone have more chances to learn about them through the actions they take, so please keep an eye out for them!
