Chi-Q-jin provides ICU students and international students with opportunities to learn and interact with local residents while simultaneously creating a space where elementary and junior high school students become familiar with different languages and cultures. Chi-Q-jin also creates an environment where international students and foreign residents are warmly accepted by the local community and where they are given an opportunity to contribute to the internationalization of the community.
