As one of the pillars for the realization of diverse learning, SHOKEI GAKUIN UNIVERSITY encourages “learning in the community and supporting with the community,” to foster comprehensive human strengths. Students will pick up on the thoughts and feelings of people in real-life settings where locals live and acquire the attitude and skills to work in collaboration with others, as a kind of “living learning.” Students will also pass on their research and education at SGU to local communities through industry-academia-government partnerships and agreements and partnerships and agreements with other universities.
Initiatives in the Region Through Classes and Extra-Curricular Activities
Activities in the region give students perspectives and experiences that they have not realized until now. Gaining a deeper understanding of the region, addressing the region’s challenges, and considering what they themselves can do for the region will give students opportunities to develop practical skills. SGU assists students to acquire practical attitudes and skills to pick up on the thoughts and feelings of local residents and to work with them in collaboration through practical learning in the region.
Support Life-Long Learning in Local Communities
SGU holds various life-long learning courses opened to local residents. Through supporting such activities, students and faculty members will gain collaborative attitude with local communities.
