The purpose of the Kobe Student Community Support Scrum, which has been held since 2020 is to support student development through hands-on experiences aimed at solving social and regional issues, and to promote students’ continuous participation in activities that contribute to the community.
To date, a total of approximately 2,700 students from more than 60 universities, junior colleges, vocational schools, and technical colleges have participated in over 150 diverse projects, including restoration of local countryside, creation of spaces for children, and exchange programs with the elderly.
We are now recruiting students to participate in the “City (Machinaka) Sign Project,” a new project to be launched as part of the “Kobe Student Community Contribution Scrum.
The City (Machinaka) Sign Project will offer opportunities for students to learn more about Kobe, including its history, culture, and nature. Students will make proposals to improve the area through a tour of the city, and conducting on-site surveys of the sign (signboards, etc.) installed throughout Kobe City.
We look forward to receiving applications from a variety of students!
