この事業は、誕生50周年を迎えた大阪府北部の千里ニュータウン地域において、ゆかりが深く、大学間連携のある関西大学と大阪大学が主体となり、地域産業や自治体と連携することでコンソーシアムを形成し、共に国際化を図り、千里エリアの活性化を推進することを目的としています。委託期間中はコンソーシアムの組織結成と活動の交流拠点の整備を行い、この拠点を通じて輩出した留学生が、支援を受ける立場から地域雇用などを通して「ローカルコミュニティーの成員」として社会貢献を行う立場へと成長するサイクルを構築し、委託期間終了も継続的に活動を展開していくことを目指しています。
This project is integrally related to the Senri New Town area in northern Osaka Prefecture, which is now fifty years old. Kansai University and Osaka University represent the two core universities in the formation of a consortium with local industry and government. The consortium plans to internationalize with the aim of promoting revitalization of the Senri area. During the contract period with MEXT, formation of a consortium and active preparation for an international exchange program will be implemented. Through the assistance of the Senri International Exchange Program, the large numbers of foreign students in the Osaka area will progress from being recipients of assistance to gaining regional employment to becoming members of the local community and productive members of society, thereby building a growth cycle. Even after the contract period with MEXT is concluded, we aim to continue developing activities to maintain the community.
