Several lecturers organize this course; some have worked as JICA staff or JICA experts in developing countries. These lectures will incorporate their own experiences into the discussion. |

It is necessary to think of interdisciplinary approaches to address global issues. We expect the participation of students who would like to think seriously about how they can contribute to addressing challenges in the world and what they should learn in this university for that. |
