Tobitate! (Leap for Tomorrow) Study Abroad Initiative is a study abroad promotion program conducted by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) as part of its global human resource development efforts. Unlike the study-abroad programs offered directly by the Ube National College of Technology, this initiative allows students to design their own training programs overseas.
The participating student shared their enthusiasm, saying: “From September 1, for 17 days, I will explore soccer in Sweden through the Tobitate! Study Abroad Initiative. I am grateful for this opportunity and will fully dedicate myself each day, valuing the people I meet and the connections I make.”
One of the key attractions of the Tobitate! Study Abroad Initiative is the chance to tackle challenges in a different environment through perspectives distinct from those applied in daily life.
