Social Program

What is the "Social Program"?

Global Village Yurakucho House holds events regularly for Japanese students and international students, as well as young professionals and collaborators, to not only sharpen their social skills, but take part in authentic experiences, gain access to new information, and interact with different cultures and ways of thinking.
グローバルビレッジ有楽町ハウスでは定期的にイベントを開催し、日本人学生と留学生との交流を促すことを通して、ソーシャルスキルを高め合うだけではなく、お互いの違いを発見し、情報の共有から多様な世界に気づくための居場所を提供しております。
