On December 2019, 12, the school corporation Kansai Gakuin was a group of 4 Omi Brotherhoods based in Shiga Prefecture (Vories Gakuen, a public interest incorporated foundation, Omi Brotherhood, a social welfare corporation, Omi Brotherhood Jishokai, Co., Ltd.) Omi Brotherhood, Ichigakusha Vories Building Office, Omi Odair Service Co., Ltd.) have signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement to cooperate in social contributions, international contributions, and mutual exchanges between faculty members and students.

 The relationship between architect WM Vories, who established the Omi Brotherhood in Shiga Prefecture, and Kansai Gakuin was a student YMCA held at Kwansei Gakuin Haradanomori Campus (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture) immediately after Vories arrived in Japan in 1905. Meeting is the first.After that, in 1910 and 17, the main school building of Haradanomori Campus was designed and built according to the basic building plan.

 When relocating the Kamigahara Campus in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, the overall design and Spanish will be arranged almost symmetrically across the straight line connecting the summit of Mt.・ It is extremely closely related to the basics of the current landscape of Kwansei Gakuin, such as the design of each school building based on the mission style.From such a connection, Kwansei Gakuin and the six Omi Brotherhood Group corporations have signed an agreement.

 In the future, the cooperation agreement will be practiced as a place for hands-on learning such as town revitalization under the theme of "leaving the campus and learning from society", student internships, joint research on Voriz architecture, inter-school exchange, and admission agreement recommended by partner schools. It was agreed that the study would proceed.
