Zoom Virtual Conference
War, conflict, poverty, peace, human rights, and politics.
In our society, we cannot be detached from international relations.
But do you still feel it is too far away from your life?
We will show the best that International Relations can do for our life even if you are not going into a real international field in the future.
Facilitator
Studying towards a university degree is not only a chance to expand your knowledge, but also to learn about and challenge your conceptions of yourself and of how you think about the world. Take time to become more aware of yourself and your real interests and goals in life.
Panelist
None of us chose the place we were born. Through the eyes of others, the world looks differently. Before you form your opinion, before you make your judgment, before you come to your conclusion, try it. Doing so does not necessarily mean we agree with them. What it does is gives us possibilities to open ourselves up to find an answer to the “why” we have and take our step that bridges the gap.
Panelist
The university is an exceptional place to explore many different ways through which we humans try to make sense of our world. Leave your comfort zone as often as possible and enjoy.
January 21 (Sun) 14:00-17:00 Free Virtual Conference

"Freedom, peace and humanity, International mutual understanding, and The future shape of the Asia Pacific region." APU has been offering education to people from 161 countries/regions. Our students have studied in a multi-cultural campus and are shaping their world. The Global Learning in Japan has started to share what you can gain from APU and tell importance of understanding each other.
In December 2022, APU hosted its first summit gathering 9 influential global leaders, sharing everything about learning globally in Japan at APU. We have shared their knowledge, experience and expertise from a perspective of "Global Learning in Japan".
The first online conference in APU history gathered over 9 influential global leaders to share all you need to know about "Global Learning in Japan."
More than 3,300 people from 76 countries signed up for this one event and 1,300+ people enjoyed the summit.
