The University of Tokyo–Asian University for Women Joint Winter Program
"Growing Up as/with Immigrants and Refugees"

Outline

The University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and  Asian University for Women (AUW) ,located in Bangladesh, jointly host a winter program with the theme of "Growing Up as/with Immigrants and Refugees."

This program, which is subsequent to the joint summer program held at UTokyo in July-August 2025, will be conducted at AUW, in Bangladesh, in March 2026. The program brings together students from both universities to explore ways to build a society in which people of diverse backgrounds—including immigrants and refugees—live together peacefully.

In the program, participants will explore various aspects surrounding the theme through lectures by experts, primarily AUW faculty members, and discussions with other participants. In addition to the lectures, the program will offer a variety of off-campus activities including field trips and interactions with AUW students. This will be an active learning-based program, where students from diverse backgrounds engage in lively discussions and gain new insights that will contribute to their future careers.

Applications from undergraduate students of all academic years and disciplines are welcome.
