研究成果の学術的意義や社会的意義
1. 研究の背景

The Kids2ids programme has been running in Kitakyushu for the past five
years and a Kids2kids extension course has been running in the university
since 2020. The Kids2kids extension course has successfully covered thetopics of gender, barrier free, and multiculturalism in Japan under theumbrella of SGDs numbers 4,5,10,11, and 17.
From June to July, 2022, a research project in collaboration with theKids2kids programme called “The Art of Storytelling” was conducted atthe American Center (U.S. Consulate Fukuoka). This research project
included student leaders from The University of Kitakyushu and universityage interns from the American Center. The focus of this project was to teachstudents how to guide children in the community to become future socialinnovators. The results of the research project were presented at the AP
Conference in Beppu, Oita in December 2022. Work from the project weredisplayed in the library during Diversity Week at The University of Kitakyushu.
2. 研究の目的

The main purpose of the project was to give students the opportunity toobtain leadership skills whilst working with children and their parents onbuilding a diversity village using the University of Kitakyushu’s extension
course as a platform. The students also supervised a student summit at theUniversity (November 12th 2023) in preparation for a TEDxYouth talk which
will be held at the university in Autumn this year (2024).
3. 研究の方法
Student leaders were divided into small groups and asked to work with children
and parents on tasks set out during each session of the diversity village extension
course. Where possible students were given different tasks and leadership
opportunities during each session.
Feedback was taken after each session and after the student summit in the formof exit tickets for children and parents and surveys for students.
4. 研究成果
The overall feedback from children, parents, and students was very positive,
student feedback inparticular showed that they were usually not give leadershipopportunities like this one throughout their university life. Students also thought
the leadership skills they experienced helped improve their confidence and which
in turn helped them in other areas of their life such as part time work. The resultsof the research were presented at the annual AP conference in Beppu, Oita
prefecture and published in the Univerity’s Regional Development Bulletin No.
