1. Saga Women’s Junior College Global Education Center (GECSW)

 

The growing globalization of Japanese society has resulted in a need for human resources who possess a global perspective on a range of issues (peace, human rights, the environment, economy, development) and who can act from this global perspective on these issues. Colleges and universities also need to contribute to society by disseminating to the local community and the world at large the results of research and educational achievements on these global issues.

GECSW was established in April 2016 to support education and research facilitating the development of such global human resources.
