Message from the President
In the midst of increasing global uncertainty and deepening complexity, the economies
in advanced countries are shifting their focus from tangible asset-based economies,
primarily represented by manufacturing, to intangible asset-based economies
exemplified by platformers. Amidst this backdrop, the advances of science andtechnology are accelerating, leading to a growing realization that many existing jobs
may be replaced by computers and robots. On the other hand, the international politicalsituations in Ukraine and Israel are affecting the economy, which is directly related topeople's lives, so it is clear that the region is part of the global community. In this global
environment, young people need to have the ability to greatly develop their highpotential, to dream of a desirable society, and to realize it, rather than being swept
away by the rapid changes of society. We call the potential for realizing dreams"competency," and we aim to help young people acquire this competency. Eikei
University of Hiroshima is a 22nd century university that aims to developchangemakers who will bring about positive change in society. We hope that you will
acquire the competencies to lead a new society.

Our principles are "spontaneously creating a desirable future for society" and, to that end,
"spontaneously finding problems, drafting solutions, and demonstrating leadership while
collaborating with others to execute our plans in order to create new social value".
Students will gain global communication skills through practical English competency and digitalskills, as well as the methodologies of logical thinking, design thinking, and system thinking.
Students take liberal arts courses that draw knowledge from both the humanities and sciences
as well as project based learning (PBL) to engage in solving actual social issues and"experiential / practical programs" including volunteer activities and internships overseas. By
doing so, students integrate their knowledge and capability in their "degree project", where they
set their project theme freely and discover solutions.

Active Learning All courses and classes use a class style that encourages student participation.
Pre-class Work

Receiving information,ideas, and knowledge

Classes

EUH is a 22nd century-type "one and only" university that will deliver "Change Leaders" to society.
Half of the current professions and academic fields that exist today are said to disappear. With that in mind, the world does
not appreciate people who can learn only, but people who can create learning. Not people who can do work only, but people who
can create work. EUH will respond to that call by cultivating human resources through the study and practice of social systemdesign.
Social system design is a methodology for inquiry and seeking solutions regarding complex issues in the society for which
there is no right "answer".
We will foster the ability to plan, draft, and execute cutting-edge innovation through the integration of knowledge withendersed by critical, design and system thinking throughout one's life for the well-being of the world.
If you want to be a Change-Maker rather than an observer of the society, this is the place for you to learn social
entrepreneurship. The Department of Social System Design will surely meet your expectations and purpose. We are looking
forward to seeing you here.

EUH provides small-sized classes up to 25 students in principle
to make communication and learning effective for all students.
* About 16 persons per class in the Intensive English Program.

One-sided lectures by the faculty member will cover, at
most, around 20% of class time. We ensure plenty of time
for dialogue between students, group discussions, and Q&A.

Classes consist of back-to-back 100-minute units, thus
reducing the courses that can be taken in parallel in thesame semester for improved concentration on each class.

Credits taken in English

International students

Students are required to take at least half of the 124 credits
needed for graduation in English. With some exceptions(such as the classes in Japanese for international students),
the same courses are offered in both English and Japanese,
meaning students can graduate by taking all their courses inEnglish, and it is an English-only environment.

With about 20 international students for every 100 students per
year as well as students from overseas universities on exchange,
we aim for a globalized campus where about 1 in 4 students arefrom outside Japan. Daily English communication with international
students who have different cultural backgrounds and values willallow students to acquire a sense of respect for others.

SDGs-oriented liberal arts（General courses）

ICT / Data science

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are international goals for sustainable development adopted by the UN General
Assembly in 2015. At EUH, we aim to train young people to contribute to the establishment of integrated solutions to real-world
problems while considering the direction of the 17 SDGs and aiming to contribute to the realization of a sustainable world. Whenexamining social issues, we set the SDGs' 5Ps (Peace, Partnership, People, Prosperity, and Planet) as pillars for studying various
interdisciplinary fields.

Pillars for learning: 5Ps

courses

Peace and Partnership are considered
methodologies common to all 17
SDGs, and therefore all students takethese as "fundamental courses".
Starting in their 2nd-year, students
learn about People, Prosperity, andPlanet as "advanced courses" for studyof more specific issues. In thesecourses, students can select one of the
3Ps to focus on while also taking
courses in other fields according totheir interests.

Thinking skills

To survive in society as it changes at dizzying
speeds, we need the ability to engage inproblems with no clear answers. EUH offers
courses on thinking skills, and LogicalThinking as well as Design Thinking, System
Thinking that teach us how to think deeply
about things from multiple angles, which istruly the foundation of problem-solving. I wasparticularly impressed by the Urban Environment
course. There, we actually went to a waste
disposal plant and dumping site as part ofour class, learning about what our own daily
lives consist of. I have become moreinterested in sustainable lifestyles and the
SDG of "Sustainable cities and communities",and I hope to use the interdisciplinary andactive learning I have gained through theliberal arts to explore our future.

Students cultivate logical thinking, a basic
thinking skill necessary for problem solving.
They will also gain skills necessary in the
problem-solving process in the real world,such as methods for carrying out projects
and ways to promote debate and form a
consensus in collaboration with others, thus
nurturing their strategic skills for developing
integrated solutions for real-world problems.

Collaborative classes with Stanford University SPICE allows students to experience cutting-edge innovation
Since AY 2023, EUH has offered the "Social Entrepreneurship" class in English in collaboration with Stanford University SPICE. In thisclass, students learn about social innovation from expert faculty members at Stanford University SPICE. Specifically, students
deepen their understanding of social innovation and social entrepreneurship and cultivate an international perspective through casestudies and group work facilitated by faculty members and business practitioners successfully working in Silicon Valley. It provides
an ideal learning opportunity for students who want to explore new business models and ideas that can change the world, and to
gain the skills necessary to make those ideas a reality.
[What is Stanford University SPICE?]
Officially called the "Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE)", this is part of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford
University. Since being established in 1976, it has engaged in developing curriculums, from elementary to higher education, specialization development for teachers, and thedevelopment of remote learning courses. They provide programs for Japan including the Stanford e-Japan activities.

7 E I K E I U NI V E R S I T Y G U IDE BO O K

UKFranceIn order to actively incorporate real-life problems into our class activities, a"Platform" (the Eikei University of Hiroshima Council of Practical Learning
Platform) will be established in cooperation with various entities, such as privatecompanies, NPOs, international organizations, and local governments. Students
will have opportunities to tackle real-life problems faced by partner companies
and organizations participating in the "Platform", as part of the coursework.
Students will think by themselves and take appropriate action to solve those
problems, while the coursework will guide them with various skills andknowledge to come up with the best solutions. The Platform is expected to
expand further to provide more opportunities for students.

The one-year-long degree project will bedone in the third or fourth year. Students set
their project theme freely and discoversolutions.
Research for individual degree projects is
performed through seminars. We invite
stakeholders of the company, administrative
body, or the like to 2 briefing sessions(mid-term and final) as external evaluators,
getting feedback on research fromperspectives including novelty andfeasibility. Students incorporate that into areport and announce their results at a publicpresentation.

Public interest incorporated foundation

In my PBL classes, I learned that the mostimportant process is identifying fundamental
problems and leverage points. Also, in order topropose a solution, it is necessary to categorize
various factors, delving deeper to determine
their relationship to the problem. The skills I
gained by repeating this process will certainly
be helpful to me after I graduate. There are
currently more and more corporations starting
new businesses, such as entering a completely
different industrial field. Precisely because ofchanges in the competitive environment togain market shares as well as the uncertaintyof the future, I believe that I will be able to makeuse of the forecast I have for the future as wellas the skills for solving problems throughout
society through a broad perspective that I
learned through PBL.

This program aims for students to overcome various issues on their own, to take on and pursue
challenges demonstrating perseverance without avoiding difficulties, and to gain the ability tocollaborate with people from different cultures and values. There are three types of study abroad:“exchange programs” and “outgoing exchange programs” at universities that have formed aninternational exchange partnership with us, and “certified study abroad” where students selectwhere to study abroad through a cooperating agency. A scholarship of 50,000JPY/month isprovided to students participating in an exchange program.

Cultivating oneself in a new environment

Students form teams of about four people, and through pre-class work, group work, field studies, and more, experience the process for discovering the core
problems and investigating solutions to real-world issues faced by companies and local governments. Immediately after entering EUH, freshmen take thecompulsory "Introduction to Social System Design" and "Introduction to Project Based Learning", and these help them realize the knowledge and skills that they must
acquire. Students will take on PBL exercises several times in their 2nd-year and 3rd-year years to discover factors causing certain social / corporate issues andpropose solutions for them. It is designed for students to acquire abilities to discover and solve problems collaborating with others and to pursue tasks.

The Intensive English Program (IEP) offers students the opportunity to develop a practicalability in all 4 language skills. This is intended as a platform to be able to take part in
lectures and seminars conducted in English. It offers an opportunity for students to buildon the knowledge and ability acquired through high school. If you are motivated to
improve your language ability, come and join our student-centered program.

Is management only applicable to companies? Actually, Management as a discipline
focuses on solving various problems in society through business. By studying
management, the creation of value for customers and stakeholders will be explored, ergosocial well-being as a whole will be expected to be promoted.
As future changemakers, I expect you to think from a managerial perspective and apply
what you learn to your surroundings. I am looking forward to enjoying the exciting journeyof management with you together.

The Intensive English Program (IEP) will push your language skills so that after six months
you will be confident to take your Social System Design courses through English. In thereading classes, for example, you will read a lot of easy books (extensive reading) toincrease your reading speed/vocabulary and you will also read academic texts (intensive
reading) that are linked to the content courses you will take after the IEP.

I took a Doctor of Engineering on the theme of the environment, studied food engineering(container and packaging recycling), and have conducted education and research inenvironmental economics at Kobe University since 2003. At Kobe University, we founded
NPO Gomi Japan, in which students are core members, and worked on social system designthat aims to reduce containers and packaging automatically. Through this activity, students
experienced the actual movement of society by working in collaboration with companies,
governments, and citizen groups. At Eikei University, I would like to make use of thisexperience to solve the plastic waste problem and food loss problem together with students.
My research aims to design a sustainable society to achieve healthier and better well-being.
Health is a significant factor in enhancing the well-being and quality of life for individuals,
serving as a fundamental determinant of their happiness and vitality. Using simulation
technology, I deepen my understanding of the relationship between health and healthdeterminants and propose health policies to promote health improvement as well as toreduce socio-economic health inequalities. Through the Health in All Policies approach,taking into account social, economic and environmental aspects, I hope to work with you todesign a fair and sustainable society for healthy living.
English has become a vital, diverse, and dynamic global language for communicating andco-constructing ideas across space and time. As such, active English study develops
students’ capacity to learn from and join global academic conversations. Moreover, withlanguage mediating our experience of our inner and external worlds, new potentialities forthought, action, and learning can emerge for ourselves and others.

I teach the required Project Based Learning Exercise (PBLE) courses. In class, we will
examine the real problems in our society and our environment. We will figure out why there
are problems and how we can find clues to solve them, and then try solutions. In thisprocess, we will learn and practice the basic research methods to gather and analyze
information. We will also learn ways to create solutions and evaluate them for
improvement. Building on the PBLE, I hope you will find a way to design your own questionfor your degree project!

Digitalization and globalization are progressing in the world, and societal and industrial

I also study technologies tooptimally operate energy systems (such as solar power generation, batteries, heat pumps, electricvehicles, etc.) in locations such as factories, buildings, and houses to achieve carbon neutrality. I aim
to control energy systems with high efficiency by using AI to analyze big data on energy consumption.
In the future, I would like to apply AI technology to other fields and contribute to solving social issues
by conducting joint research and consultation with local governments and companies.

I have explored the ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues) surrounding cutting-edge
medical technologies and their research, including stem cells, cloning, assisted
reproductive technologies, prenatal diagnosis, and genome editing. The results of myresearch have been published in several books (e.g., Genome Editing and the Birth of Cell
Politics, Seidosha, 2018). I have often contributed articles and book reviews on science,technology, medicine, art, and film to a variety of media. In recent years, I've been
examining the ethical issues surrounding medical research involving certain vulnerable
populations.
Our world is undergoing rapid change, with big issues facing us now and in the future. The
global temperature is increasing, while biodiversity is decreasing, unknown diseases are
emerging, and wars are being fought again. How can you become a problem-solver?
Having a background in science and technology will provide you with the creativeknowledge to overcome the economic, social, and environmental challenges of the future.
Join me on this journey and see how rewarding, fun, and engaging natural science can be.

The first step to creating an innovative solution for a social problem is to understand thesituation's essence by immersing oneself in the actual site and investigating the issue
from various perspectives.
Let’s learn and practice how to do it and experience the difficulties and the fun.

Science and Technology (S&T) are deeply embedded into our modern life. They havechanged not only our daily activities but also our concepts of “life” or “nature.” I'minterested in the relationships between S&T and society. How do people perceive or react
to a certain newly investigated technology? How does technology change responding to
the public attitude? When we think about SDGs, from unpaid care/domestic work at home
to global energy issues, we cannot avoid thinking about how we can use or not use S&T in
our society. I look forward to discussing with you these issues together in near future.

Our surroundings are filled with data and information, and this trend is accelerating withthe widespread use of the internet and other technologies. Let's learn the knowledge andskills of data science and AI (Artificial Intelligence) together, and work towards creating abetter world.

We may not always be conscious of it, but our lives are always supported by the Law.
More than we realise, the Law provides a framework for our daily lives and protects us. As
the Showa, Heisei and Reiwa eras have progressed, the values of people hava beenchanging. And now we are expected to respect diversities and to collaborate with others.
The requirements of this new society must be met by a new social framework or law (i.e.,
Neque mittunt vinum novum in utres veteres). As Japan and the world seek a new society,problem-solvers are in demand. My lecture gives you the chance to challenge various new
problems together using the Law.
Our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by people around us and thesurrounding environment. At the same time, our thoughts and feelings have influence on
the decision making process of other people. But we generally are not aware of thatbidirectional relationship. Under which conditions do we get influenced by others? When
do we have positive influences on others and develop good relationships? I look forward
to discussing and learning these topics with you.

University years can be the best time of your life. It is entirely up to you what you make of
it. You will make friends for life; you will grow intellectually and emotionally. How muchyou learn depends on you. Your teachers are here to help you and to stimulate you to learn,
not to force you. Be curious – everything is interesting if you pay close enough attention.
Use these four years well and you will gain both solid knowledge and confidence. But,
most of all, learn to think critically, to analyse and understand human behaviour andsociety – this is the purpose of a university education. And spend time studying abroad.
For me, this was my most constructive experience.

Water is essential for all living things. The conservation of the water environment is thus
saving our precious planet Earth by making ecosystems more sustainable. Computer
simulation is a powerful tool to understand theunderlying mechanisms of water circulations
and qualities. Now, I am especially working on water environmental simulations underclimate change and other human impacts such as plastic emissions. Computer visualizationof the water environments is very interesting. And clear evidence elucidated by simulations
makes the discussion on the conservation of the environment more effective. Let's talk
together about what we should do for a sustainable world with environmental simulations!

Society is changing at an ever-quicker pace, and the environment surrounding project advancement aswell as advancement itself have become very difficult. Against this backdrop, various members must bringdiverse skills together in order for a project to achieve its targets. Conversely, it can be said that skillfully
advancing a project allows for members to fully exert their unique skills to make meaningful contributions.
Recently, many activities throughout society are now carried out as projects, and the skills foradvancing projects are required in all kinds of places throughout society and daily life. Let us think
together and continue to create as we work together for a society where people can utilize their own
skills and enjoy working.
In the past years, the world has faced many global challenges, such as worsening climatechange, a massive global pandemic, a volatile economy, more people in poverty, andmultiple wars. Those are too big problems for any single country to solve – thus theimportance of international cooperation is more evident than ever. As the concerned citizensof this world, what can we do? Let’s gather in Hiroshima and discuss our future together!

Nowadays, we see harsh environmental change and significant value conversation. We arefacing issues that cannot be solved using conventional methods. This may seem like adilemma at first glance, but it is a big opportunity for people who are not confined byestablished interests. The concept of "social system design" is important for making useof this opportunity. It is essential to learn and practice this. At EUH, we provide programs
and a platform to that end. Come design the future with us !

A university is a special place where you can focus on learning within society and a little
away from society as well. For example, cultural anthropology teaches us that what is
considered “normal” in one society is not normal at all in other societies. If suchdifferences exist, things that seem unchangeable to us might also be changed by tinkeringwith the details. Let’s look at things from different angles, think deeply, and try out newideas at Eikei University.

The advent of generative AI has expanded how we use computers as tools. As a result, thepossibility of realizing what we want to achieve by ourselves has dramatically increased.
AI will change the way we work. What do you think is required in such an era? Now that welive in a world where everyone can produce similar output, what is important is the ability
to take action and take on challenges. Instead of taking action because someone tells you
to do something, think about what you want to achieve and take the first step to create theworld you aim for by proactively working on your own and using AI as a tool to youradvantage.
What do you need to master English? It is very impor t ant to improve the four skills ofEnglish (reading, listening, speaking, and writing). However, I think it is more important tohave a positive attitude (mindset) to use another language and try to understand different
opinions and cultures. At Eikei University of Hiroshima, we have the Intensive English
Program, where students intensively learn not only the four skills but presentation skills ofEnglish for six months after entering the university. They will be immersed in English everyday. The goal is to develop their ability and mindset to take any course in English in thefollowing quarters.

People sometimes question whether philosophy is useful, but in doing so, they alreadypresuppose certain criteria or values for what is considered “useful”. Philosophy, however,has the capacity to challenge and question these very criteria and inquire into the very
nature of what it means to be “useful”. Furthermore, philosophy can even question what
philosophy itself is. In an era where various information is rapidly updated, I hope thateach of you can acquire the ability to deeply contemplate the fundamentals of things andcritically reflect on their premises and essence.

I am in charge of lectures on global environment, natural disasters, and data science. Earthscience involving atmospheric, hydrological, and terrestrial phenomena is closely related toconcerns such as global environmental issues and disaster prevention. Learning about
various phenomena of the Earth provides a basis for understanding global environmental
problems and useful knowledge to avoid being involved in natural disasters. On the other
hand, data science has become an essential field now because it uncovers hidden
relationships in large data sets. Such findings can be helpful for decision making andstrategic planning for example. The fields using data science will expand in future.
We are witnessing wars, conflicts and other forms of violence depriving people of wealth,health, and education in various parts of the world today. Why do wars and conflicts occur,and how do we prevent them from recurring? How do we end wars? How can we makepeace in our world? — Scholars, religious leaders, politicians, practitioners, students, andthe like, have asked these simple but very difficult questions for centuries. At Eikei

The world today is changing
rapidly and we need to thinkcreatively and with passion
about how to solve thevarious global challenges
that we face. I hope you will
enjoy developing your skills
as global citizens in order tocreate a better, more
prosperous, and morepeaceful society for the
future.

The society of the future willbe created by people whohave a sense of excitement
about new challenges,
without being tied to thevalues of the past. Join us increating the values of the
future with excitement in an
organization free of strings.
This will lead to individual
happiness.

The future of education will
surely not be bound bygathering in the same placeor studying at the sametime. It will provide anenvironment where students
can freely study theirinterests. I believe that
what's important is how that
education leads toemergence. We live in an era
where crea t ions canin ter mi ngle to create newcreations previously
unimagined. Let's makeemergence.

We conduct research andeducation in system design
and management studies
that look at the trees andforest. We also focus on
well-being studies that aim
for a well-being society.

Currently, the world is facing
a problem, wherein rightanswers are becoming
obsolete. The ability to“provide the right answer”
was conventionallyconsidered a criterion for
excellence; however, thevalue there is decreasing.
So, what kind of humanresources will be deemedvaluable in the future? I
believe it will be people
who can provide “goodquestions”. I hope students
at EUH will gain the ability toprovide “good questions”.

Study and life are combined at this international dormitory. It is a place where students can improve their understanding of the world through living with Japanese andinternational students. There is no manager at thedormitory. The Resident Assistants (RAs) and theStudent Assistants (SAs) on each floor take the lead insupporting dorm residents while coordinating with theuniversity faculty and staff. The international dormitory
continues to evolve as residents actively work to
improve and enhance dormitory life.

This is kept wide open as a place of exchange between
students and community members. Various events areheld here for interacting with many different members of
the community, from children to adults. Students haveinstalled a street piano here as the "EIKEI PIANO PROJECT",and events planned by students will be held here in 2023
as well.

Student Assistants (SAs)

There is an RA on each floor. They check on the status of
their floor, periodically communicate with the University,and arrange exchanges on their floor. RAs live in a 2LDK
unit by themselves, but share part of that unit space as aplace for exchange activities with other dormitory residents.

The responsibilities of the SAs are rotated among thedorm residents. They check on groups of about f ive
students and support them so that they feel comfor tablewith life in the dormitor y. The SAs also help the RAs toorganize exchanges on their floors.

My Dreams

In the future, I would like to find a job in Japan
where I can utilize both English and Japanese,
helping Japanese people who want to learn English
and being “chikara” (support) for international
residents here in Japan who are struggling with theJapanese language. While doing that, I also aim tocreate a business in my home country of thePhilippines that combines Japanese Onigiri with
Filipino traditional dishes like Adobo.

In the future, I want to work as a businessdiplomat and also pursue a career as anentrepreneur. I am interested in the businesssector, which holds great opportunity fortransforming small-scale business. My
short-term goal is to open a cassava foodprocessing center in my home country of
Liberia, which I believe will empower farmers.

Throughout the fieldwork of collecting data to
analysing the statistics, I realized that I love
working with data. This experience inspired me
to pursue a career as a data analyst. If possible, I
would like to work at an international corporationor organization that cultivates a global mind,
helping to select valuable information andempower the decision-making process.

At EUH, we acquire a globally sensitive mindin acknowledging diversities and differences,interdisciplinary skills and knowledge toaddress societal problems, and strategic
thinking skills to provide practical andinnovative ideas and solutions to specificissues, in order to become globallycompetitive change-makers. Through thefrequent and insightful group discussions aswell as project completion with a focus on theprocess and more, I am confident that I haveb e c o m e a s t e p c l o s e r to b e c o m i n g achange-maker and, of course, a better person.

We live in a world that has great potential anduncertainty, and EUH impacts us in a practical way
with its vision-driven education. I have been focusedon business-related courses, like Finance,
Economics, and Project Management, and in myextracurricular activities, I have been researching themarket potential in Africa and specifically in Liberia,
assessing the potential of digital technology for
SMEs. In the PBL exercises, I achieved my dream ofinteracting with an international organization under
the United Nations (UNITAR Hiroshima). About 90%of the solutions we proposed were accepted, andthis was a valuable experience for me.

EUH provides many opportunities to connect
closely to society, and also involves a great
deal of fieldwork. For example, we went to thePeace Memorial Park to collect diverse
perspectives on LGBT rights from both
Japanese people and foreign tourists. In the
PBL exercises, we held interviews at a city

Under the motto of "No student left behind", EUH provides coaching to all students, supporting them toengage in dialogue with themselves. Professional coaches listen closely to each and every student, helping
them to visualize the gap between where they are now and where they want to be in the future and to find apath forward.

Students can always hear advice on career design from diverse working individuals (career mentors) as
they work towards achieving their career path after graduation. There are over 30 career mentors
cooperating, including people engaged in entrepreneurship as well as people working in the local, global,
and glocal fields.

We have established an Evening Lounge program toact as a place where students can freely exchange
opinions with people working on the front lines ofsociety, thereby supporting students' career building.
