[Abstract] This paper is a practical report on project-based learning (regional PBL) that works to solve regional issues, with the theme of the SDGs initiatives in small and medium-sized enterprises. The author has been promoting collaboration between universities and the local community. The author aims to strengthen regional cooperation functions, promote collaboration with small and mediumsized enterprises, and provide learning opportunities through the newly introduced “self-design gap term” at Chiba University's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. For this purpose, the author developed two regional PBLs in Sumida, Chiba, and Matsudo. In the regional PBL practices, the author conducted preliminary learning, fieldwork, and reflection and summarized and presented SDGs initiatives at small and medium-sized enterprises. Future issues include building relationships between universities and small and medium-sized enterprises, developing joint research, effectively using self-design gap terms, and reviewing the syllabus to propose solutions to problems.
