Dongseo University–Kyushu University Asia Design Erasmus Mobility Program
Dongseo University Students Connect through Design at Kyushu University
Future Resilience System Research Team Participates in the Asia Design Erasmus Mobility Program at Kyushu University’s Faculty of Design
The College of Design and the ANCHOR Project Group at Dongseo University operated the Asia Design Erasmus Mobility Program, a global design exchange program, at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, from July 8 to 12, 2026.
With support from the ANCHOR Project Group, five Dongseo University students participated in the program: Heewon Lee from Visual Communication Design, Jihye Yoo and Dajin Lee from Digital Media Design, Yeonsu Han from Environmental Design, and Hyewon Yang from Architectural Engineering in the College of Software Convergence. Through research seminars and cultural exchange activities with students from Kyushu University’s Faculty of Design, the participants had an opportunity to strengthen their global design capabilities and international collaboration skills.
Visit to the Human Life Design Research and Experimental Facilities at Kyushu University’s Faculty of Design
On the first day, students visited research and experimental facilities to explore research being conducted in the field of Human Life Design at Kyushu University’s Faculty of Design. They toured various research facilities and took part in experiments, including an activity examining how changes in light intensity affect learning efficiency and user cognition.
They also observed how motion-capture technology is used to collect data on human movement and apply it across different industries. Through these activities, students gained a concrete understanding of ergonomic research methods and experimental processes that they had previously encountered mainly through theory.
Research Seminar at Professor Morimoto’s Laboratory in Digital Design
On the second day, students attended a seminar at Professor Morimoto’s laboratory in the Digital Design program of Kyushu University’s Faculty of Design. The Dongseo University student research team, the Future Resilience System Research Group, introduced its ongoing research and exchanged ideas with Kyushu University students.
Participants were also introduced to research conducted by Kyushu University students on topics including the automation of facial expressions and movements in animation and CG characters, as well as animation production techniques based on physical principles. These presentations provided an opportunity to understand a range of research approaches in the field of digital content.

Following the seminar, students from both universities shared a meal and talked freely about university life and their research interests. Although the schedule was brief, the exchange provided a meaningful opportunity for students to use design as a common language to better understand one another’s ideas and cultures and build closer relationships.
Disaster Safety Education at the Fukuoka Citizens’ Disaster Prevention Center
In connection with the Future Resilience System Research Group’s ongoing study on ecological restoration in wildfire-damaged areas, the students also investigated overseas cases that help citizens easily understand and engage with the complex issues and reliable information involved in restoration processes.
They visited the Fukuoka Citizens’ Disaster Prevention Center, an experiential disaster safety education facility operated by the Fukuoka City Fire Department. Students participated in hands-on learning activities designed to simulate disaster situations and learned practical disaster-prevention knowledge and response methods.
The educational environment, designed to resemble real-life disaster situations, used multiple senses including sight, touch, and smell to enhance participants’ immersion and encourage active learning regardless of age. In particular, the center’s experiential approach went beyond the one-way delivery of disaster information by encouraging citizens to make judgments and take action themselves.
Through this experience, students recognized that experience-based information design can reduce the burden of learning while effectively improving understanding of disaster response and strengthening a sense of communal responsibility.

Case Study of Interactive Exhibitions at the Fukuoka City Science Museum
At the Fukuoka City Science Museum, students examined information design cases that communicate complex and specialized environmental and scientific information through visual content and interactive experiences.
The exhibition spaces and content were designed to encourage visitors to participate actively in the learning process, helping them understand scientific principles in an engaging way while promoting voluntary learning and interaction among diverse participants. Through this field study, students gained a deeper appreciation of the importance of public exhibition and information design in restructuring complex professional information at a level accessible to citizens and connecting it to empathy and participation.
The program included a wide range of activities, from laboratory experiences and academic seminars to student exchanges and field visits. Participating students said, “It was a very meaningful experience to engage deeply with students from different backgrounds through design and to exchange new ideas for our future research.”
Dajin Lee, a student from Dongseo University’s College of Design, said, “Through the academic seminar and visits to local educational institutions such as the Citizens’ Disaster Prevention Center and the Science Museum, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of user-centered information design structures that effectively communicate complex public and environmental information to the general public.” She added, “I hope to apply the insights gained from exchanges with local students and field visits to our ongoing projects, including research on ecological restoration in wildfire-damaged areas, and develop more refined outcomes that encourage public empathy and participation.”
