Dr. John Demartini's Charitable Lecture for High School Students in Saga Prefecture

The educational consulting firm GLOBAL SYNERGY EDUCATION, led by Maki Kitahara, has launched an initiative called the "Self Mastery Project 2026," aimed at reshaping the future of Japanese education starting from local high schools. This project will kick off with a charity lecture by the world-renowned expert in human behavior, Dr. John Demartini, scheduled for September 24, 2026, at Saga Prefectural Miyaki High School. This event marks his first speaking engagement at a Japanese high school, where he will address approximately 600 students in person, with the lecture also being streamed live on the LIFE MANDALA official YouTube channel.

The Context: Understanding Personal Values in an AI-Driven Era

As Japan faces challenges such as a declining birth rate and youth outflow from rural areas, many high school students struggle to establish clear visions for their futures. The emergence of AI technology calls into question the advantages of merely accumulating knowledge. Thus, it becomes crucial for students to contemplate "Why do we live?" and "What do we aim for?" while utilizing technology to align their actions with their personal values.

This lecture focuses on this theme of personal values, bringing the insights of a global educator directly to high school students. Through live streaming, it aims to reach high school students, families, and communities nationwide, fostering value-based education in society.
