The job of this project is to explore how high school students from different countries perceive future “next”--both in terms of ambition and pressure, from academia to job prospects, due to both cultural factor and educational systematic factors. I started this through interviews comparing students in China and Japan, and during the fellowship, I plan to bring this conversation to my universally alumni within my university campus. By collecting stories through student interviews, organizing an eventual interactive online exhibition in places like the cafeteria and student involvement center, and hosting sharing sessions, the project aims to challenge the narrow definitions of educational "success" and create a space for empathy across cultures, systems and experiences. Since an early point, I've always managed to be a genuine listener, who listened to the confession and emotional outbursts from my peers who were in different educational and language systems yet sharing the same emotion of being lost. This time, I want to do something more than simply listening, but to make analysis and validations, to let every entity related to the field of education reflect over our respective opinions on education system and culture based on concrete logic and data in an interactive manner.
