Dear all university students around the world

Why not join the program and learn online with students from all over the world?

As a school selected for the FY 2018 Inter-University Exchange Project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan, Osaka City University (OCU) is implementing a Program to Develop Collaborative Social Innovators that uses Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL).
In this program, OCU offers Socially Innovative Global Classroom (SIGLOC) which is a collaborative educational program with overseas students.

.

SIGLOC is an intensive program in which students from different countries around the world enter “the field”, share their experiences, exchange opinions from different perspectives, and collaborate to create solutions to social issues.

Since 2020, OCU has conducted entirely online programs entitled SIGLOC-online to provide international education unaffected by COVID-19.

.

Now we are calling for participants to the 8th and 9th SIGLOC-online.
