Knowledge Investment Programs (KIP)
is a discussion group which aims to nurture the youth to internationally-minded people who are not ignorant but familiar with their own culture.

 KIP members consist of undergraduate students, graduate students, and young professionals.
As a general incorporated association, KIP has a board of directors and other supporters with the same passion who have helped KIP to be what it is today. Students can not only learn a wide range of skills, from debating to effective communication, but also develop manners and courtesy as individuals. We aim to serve as a bridge between students and society.

Principles

From an international-oriented person with scarce knowledge of Japan,

to a person well informed about Japan with a global mindset

In a global society, rather than going abroad without knowing our own country,
we aim to become international individuals who can think about and discuss the problems surrounding us first, and then spread the knowledge abroad.

KIP is pronounced “kippu” and comes from the Japanese word kippu, which means “ticket”. The KIP logo is shaped like an old ticket. Anyone can get a“ticket” to become an international citizen if they have the desire and effort. Now it’s up to you how you use the ticket – whether it’s just an admission ticket or a ticket into space. To help students make the most of their “ticket” and express themselves with confidence and clarity, KIP provides both a place for learning and opportunities for discovery.
