==Humor in the Margins of Tohoku University (2023～)==
===Background===
Tohoku University has a variety of support and systems for international exchange and the development of global human resources. In recognition of these, the university was also selected as a University of International Excellence. However, according to interviews with international students, we learned that international students perceive Japanese students as not actively trying to use English, not trying to understand the efforts of international students, and not speaking to them voluntarily. Interviews with student leaders of international exchange groups provided insight that Japanese students at Tohoku University are often hesitant to use English for fear of failure. Also, according to several professors, we learned that many students tend to wait to see what is going on around them before speaking up. Society often regarded Tohoku University students as "serious”. As a result of these findings, we thought it was important to improve the positive attitude of expression among Tohoku University students.
===Challenge===
There are many underutilized margins on Tohoku University's campus. For example, the stairs in front of the station directly connected to the university (Tohoku University has no gate), and lawns all over campus. By using these spaces, we can pioneer and create unique events and devices to stimulate the creativity and sense of humor that other students have. And the students themselves will be able to freely express their own sensibilities. Our challenge is to create a campus where people can think, "What interesting things await me at the university today?" and "How can I entertain everyone today?"
===Target===
Tohoku University student, people who hesitant to express themselves.
