Business Overview
This project was started as a project to solve the overwhelming problem of “I can’t answer questions about Japan and Kyoto” in interviews with students who have completed short~long-term study abroad in English-speaking countries, and to develop the ability to convey the charms of their country and Kyoto to many students in English.
In addition to increasing students’ interest in studying abroad, it is expected that the number of Kyoto fans will increase and the number of students studying in Kyoto and tourists will increase by accurately communicating the charms of Kyoto when they study abroad. In addition, by taking the course, you will improve your ability to convey the charms of Kyoto in English, and you can expect to play an active role as a human resource who can convey the charms of Kyoto to foreign tourists and international students even after returning to your home country. In addition, one of the unique features of the University Consortium Kyoto Project is that students can interact with students from other universities and gain knowledge.
