Call for Submissions: Social Practice EXPO

Have you ever wondered how one idea or one action can make a difference in society?

Whether you have already completed a social practice project or are still developing an idea, we welcome you to bring it to the EXPO!

What kinds of projects are suitable for the EXPO?

As long as your project responds to real social issues or needs through action, creativity, or innovative solutions, we welcome your participation!

Your project could be:

・A practical action inspired by what you have learned in class
・A proposal addressing community, local, or public issues
・An action focusing on issues such as the environment, culture, or education
・A creative proposal that applies your expertise to address social needs

Have a completed project to share? Absolutely!
Still working on your idea? That's welcome too!

Even if your project has not yet been implemented, you can present and showcase it through a simulated proposal.

This year, bring your achievements, ideas, and actions to the EXPO. Share, connect, and explore new possibilities with others!
