The first destination for the DOJO students was Sweden. They visited the back-end facilities of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Wastes Management Co. (SKB) and Oskarshamn Nuclear Power Plant to learn about the state of nuclear power and underground repositories. Next, they headed to Lithuania, where they visited the Embassy of Japan in Lithuania and Sugihara House, and held a discussion with students at the Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) regarding the present state and issues of nuclear power, enriching their understanding. Additionally, they visited the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO), and the Permanent Mission of Japan to the International Organizations in Vienna. The students, with a goal of playing an active international role, asked many enthusiastic questions.
