Sophia dormitories—place for learning as the most important feature. we provide students with opportunities outside of the dormitory to support their development.

The VUCA*era makes it extremely difficult to predict the future, that your past experiences and thoughts may not be useful. To be successful in this era, it is essential to gain the skills of outstanding insight and imaginations for highly uncertain future, creating the uniquely value-added problem solving solutions, performing own unique values and yet co-working with others under such diverse environment.
This involves going to the field where SDGs and social issues are being tackled, exploring problem-solving with dorm mates through on-site experience and interaction with people, and acquiring skills that will be useful in the future, such as leadership, communication skills, and the ability to take action.

*VUCA is an acronym and stands for “Volatility”, “Uncertainty”, “Complexity”, “Ambiguity”.
This word means “unpredictable situation” consisted of various elements.

This project started from FY2023, and has become a place of exchange for residents of Sophia dormitories (Edagawa Dormitory, Soshigaya International House, and Arrupe International Residence)
