The purpose of this activity is for international students to participate in exchanging their own culture and history with community members of Yakage Town. Through co-understanding, the local community can find a new approach for sustainable development and be responsible for their own community management.

1. Home Stay in Local Community　Around 20 international students have 　joined in homestay programs.
2. Support for Traditional Festivals With the Japanese population declining, the student’s power encourages citizen engagement in local communities.
3. Learning the Realities of Local Communities in Japan International students visit rural areas to understand　the　challenges these communities face in revitalization.
