United Nations Youth Vo lunteers, the First Program of its Kind

Considering the �nancial contributions that Japanhas made to the United Nations, one mightanticipate that Japanese personnel would have astrong presence within the organization, but thenumber of Japanese civil servants employed at theUN remains far below expectations. To tackle thischallenge, KGU launched the Graduate Course inUN and Foreign A�airs Studies (UNFA Course)in 2017. All course o�erings are taught by

professors with extensive expertise inforeign a�airs and diplomacy. �e UNFA Course facilitates students' development of practical skills that will be vital in the international sector through discussions,presentations and research projects in alearning environment which also includesinternational students from Europe andAsia.

Relevant Educationin an Era of Drastic Change

�e world is approaching a majorturning point, thanks to arti�cialintelligence (AI).

In order totackle this challenge, KGU began a jointproject with IBM Japan to develop theAI Solution Architect Training

Program, which launched in April 2019.�is comprehensive program focuses ondeveloping students’ AI literacy,pro�ciency with AI and data scienceskills through lectures, practicalapplications, and project-based learning.Rather than being made replaceable bymachines, students in the AI SolutionArchitect Training Program will developthe skills and knowledge they need tomaster the use of AI, in order to helpcreate a better society.

Ever since the Great Hanshin-AwajiEarthquake of 1995, which occurred innearby Kobe, volunteer assistance hasbeen essential to post-disaster recoveryin Japan. �rough its Human ServiceSupport O�ce, KGU encourages andsupports students to engage in servicelearning by facilitating theirparticipation in volunteer work e�ortsall over the country.
