Sharing Practices of Multicultural Co-Learning: The 1st Multicultural Co-Learning Salon
2025.12.19
With the aim of improving the planning and practice of multicultural co-learning and promoting the sharing of on-campus examples and information exchange among faculty and staff, the first Multicultural Co-Learning Salon was held on December 19.
Faculty and staff members who implemented multicultural co-learning or RUN-UP activities in FY2025, those planning to do so, those interested in developing such initiatives in the future, as well as administrative staff responsible for related procedures gathered for the event. Participants shared their activities, challenges, practical ideas, concerns, and insights in small groups, engaging in open and informal discussions.
Participants were divided into five groups and engaged in free and open discussions. Topics included effective ways of promoting activities to students, scholarships, content cards and open badges on JV-Campus, among others, which were actively shared across groups. Dr Chiba, Vice President for Student Affairs, introduced the Future Society Design Complex during the session.
Some participants commented that “one hour was not enough,” reflecting the high level of engagement. The salon will continue to be held on a regular basis as a forum for ongoing information exchange on multicultural co-learning.
The next session is scheduled to be held in January 2026, focusing on questions and guidance regarding how to prepare the application form for Multicultural Co-Learning Activity Support. Further details will be announced once finalized.
