to Foster Inclusive Minds
Application Guidelines
(Last update: May 16, 2022)
BACKGROUNDS AND PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
To solve common social issues in the world, it is necessary to collaborate with diverse human resources with different backgrounds and attributes, regardless of nationality, language, religion, gender, or disability. And the practice of Diversity and Inclusion in society is required to realize the basic principle of the SDGs, “Leave No One Behind.”
As you already know, with this background, we have launched a new program titled “International Collaborative Human Resources Development Program in Asia to Foster Inclusive Minds” implemented by Campus Asia consortium universities in China, Korea and Japan plus two universities from Indonesia and Thailand from 2022.
Our very first Program, “Cultivating a Caring and Inclusive Society for All,” which was designed to develop human resources collaboratively among the universities to foster an inclusive mindset in students was successfully done online in February 2022. The program was to contribute to the practice of Diversity and Inclusion for the realization of the better society and the SDGs in Asia.
To pursue and accomplish this purpose in the Campus Asia program further, Hiroshima University has been planning the contents and itineraries for our Summer School program, which offers students from the Consortium Universities can interact, communicate and learn at Hiroshima University.
Hiroshima University welcomes students from the member universities, who are eager to learn and interact actively with other Asian students in August 2022.
