In this paper, the authors describe the changes in students’ awareness after undergoing 6 months of cross-cultural project-based learning. Participants from Tokyo Tech and Chulalongkorn Univ. were tasked with choosing a topic that is based on the broader theme outlined by the authors. For a duration of 6 months, the participants met at both university sites interchangeably, and engaged in multicultural group work. Through this process, the authors could identify differences of awareness between participants of Tokyo Tech and Chulalongkorn Univ., with students of the former gaining interest in social issues, and the latter focusing on proposals that could be adapted in their local communities. Furthermore, Tokyo Tech students recognized an increase in their English communication ability, while Chulalongkorn Univ. students felt a betterment in their existing abilities.
