Connecting the regional top leaders

This course is conducted in collaboration with Shinshu University, Toyama University, and Kanazawa University.
In this course, students will first learn about local community problems, new perspectives on regional revitalization, and solutions from top community leaders through relay talks.
Second, students will discuss the social needs and consider the solutions for the local revitalization with the cross-university teams.
As this class adopts the active learning method, students will be encouraged to participate in the local community and learn how to relate to society.
FYI:
This course is also offered as a credit for the ""Local-Area Literacy"" enhancement phase of the ""ENGINE"" program.
The ""ENGINE Program"" is part of the COC+R project（Universities as Drivers of Regional Revitalization through New Human Resources Education Programs）, which started as a MEXT（Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology）subsidy Project.
