It was the second year of controls on school activities due to the covid-19 pandemic. We have discussed with the teachers about how not to lose the opportunities for pupils to explore and learn, and we decided to continue the elementary-university collaboration project as in previous years. Our challenge was that "If the school should be closed because of a notice from the government or the Board of Education, we must create a learning programme for the pupils to be able to do at home, just as before, one that does not reduce the quality of their learning." And we will also create curriculums that will help the pupils to find out themselves to be able to do helping the community through their exploratory regional studies, and to foster their own 'Civic Pride'." .

In FY2021, we decided to produce a booklet on the attractive qualities of the Taya region for everyone, by the pupils and of the pupils.

The pupils summarized their discoveries and observations about changes in the regional environment by sorting out their hearing memos, graphing and discussing various statistical data, and using Geographical Survey Institute maps.

By visualizing various statistical data, the pupils experienced an "awareness" of regional changes and began to have thoughts about the future image of the region.
