Learning unique to Faculty of Global Studies

1

Students' "independent activities" implemented both domestically and internationally.

  • Japanese language learning support for foreign children and students

    The lack of adequate learning support for foreign children and students is a major social issue today. The student-run group "Kodomo Nihongo Shien Smile" (Children's Japanese Language Support Smile) is addressing this issue by providing Japanese language support at elementary and high schools, online, and through Japanese cultural experience events. Your "abilities" can become a force supporting someone else's learning. This is a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience in multicultural coexistence and Japanese language education that connects with society.

  • Environmental education and conservation activities in Micronesia

    Based in the Federated States of Micronesia (Pohnpei), we are engaged in environmental education and conservation activities for local children. Domestically, we also collaborate with NGOs to continuously conduct cleanup activities in parks and on beaches. Even small steps can make a difference in protecting the future of our planet. This program is perfect for those interested in international cooperation and those who want to seriously address environmental issues.

  • Environmental and hygiene awareness activities in Nepal

    This is an independent seminar that visits Nepal once a year to teach local elementary school students about handwashing and waste sorting, focusing on environmental and hygiene awareness activities for children. The students take the lead in all aspects of the project, from planning and preparation to on-site activities.
