KU Russian Alumni Association Kick-off Symposium
Cultural Exchange Program Symposium

UNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Geoparks and World Heritage Sites,
as platforms to conduct the regional education towards SDGs
Academia x Community x Consortium
In 2017, Kanazawa University was selected by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
for the “Inter-University Exchange Project” and started a new program entitled “Training Program for Russia-Japan Innovative
Leaders of Tomorrow”. One of the main parts of this program is the Cultural Exchange Program, which aims to develop theacademic exchange in collaboration with Russian partner institutions and deepen collaborations with local communities andenterprises. Cross-cultural youth dialog would play a crucial role, to educate the leaders of the future, who will understand andrespect the culture of other nations, and contribute to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. To deepen the community
exchange with the Japanese and Russian Youth, for more than three years we have conducted our exchange programs inside theUNESCO Biosphere Reserves, Geoparks and World Heritage Sites. In this symposium we will share the educational practices
conducted in both countries including cases of the local communities, Ishikawa-Russian University Consortiums.
