In recent political discourse, the importance and necessity of connecting international students and regions has been recognized. Therefore, the purpose of this project encompasses the idea of a multicultural society in the region and the promotion of foreign student policies in Japan.

Through activities employing these four approaches, the project aims to change the function of HIH from a place of living to an interactive residence. Further, it proposes the use of HIH as a community space for international students and local residents, where they can learn about each other through interaction. Other aims of the project are the development of global human resources and the formation of a network or community.
