Spotlights

Hello from SIED!

On Thursday, May 22nd, we held "Japanese Chat & Picnic" on the lawn in front of the Learned Memorial Library at the Kyotanabe Campus!

A total of 24 participants, including 7 international students and 17 Japanese students, enjoyed a relaxed exchange in a calm atmosphere.

At the beginning of the event, we broke the ice using self-introduction cards. Thanks to the open space under the trees on the lawn, conversations started naturally in a relaxed setting. Afterwards, participants freely formed groups and enjoyed lively discussions on various topics such as hobbies, school life, and cultural differences between Japan and other countries, all while adjusting to each other's Japanese language levels.

We were blessed with good weather; although the sunlight was strong, we enjoyed a pleasant time unique to being outdoors.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

SIED will continue to plan international exchange events that provide opportunities for diverse encounters and learning experiences for Doshisha University students. We hope you'll feel free to join us next time!
