Fall 2022 Completion Ceremony for the Intensive Japanese Program & Closing Ceremony for the Short-Term Exchange Program

 令和5年2月21日(火)に、熊本大学黒髪北キャンパスの多言語文化総合教育棟交流ラウンジにて、令和4年度後期の熊本大学日本語研修コース 修了式・短期留学プログラム閉講式を行いました。 今回はコロナ後初の対面での閉講式となり、今期でプログラム期間を終了した日本語研修コース生2名と短期留学プログラム生23名が出席しました。日本式の式典に少し緊張した面持ちでしたが、和やかな雰囲気の中式典が始まり、副学長からのご挨拶のあと、日本語研修コース生と短期留学プログラム生代表から、学修経験とたくさんの思い出がつまった日本語での代表謝辞がありました。少し気温は冷たかったですが、暖かな日差しの中、笑顔で集合写真をとり、無事に式を執り行うことができました。

 

 The lounge at the Center for International Education was held the “Completion Ceremony for the “Fall 2022 Intensive Japanese Program & Closing Ceremony for the Short-Term Exchange Program” on Tuesday, February 21. As this event was the first face-to-face ceremony after the new corona pandemic, there were two Japanese Intensive course students and twenty-three University Short-Term Exchange Program students attended. Although the students had a little nervous expression on their faces for the Japanese style ceremony, the ceremony started in a cozy atmosphere. After the Congratulatory Address from Vice President, we had messages of gratitude with full of learning experiences and memories from a student representative from the Japanese Intensive Course and Short-Term Exchange Program. It was cold on that day; however, we could take group pictures with smiles in warm spring sunlight and had completed the ceremony.

International Student Symposium was held!

     On Saturday, December 17, 2022, the International Student Symposium was held at Kumamoto City International Center in person and online. There were 35 participants including international students studying at universities in Kumamoto and Japanese high school students. Under the theme of “Hot news topics in my country”, 6 international students (from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Germany, China and Swiss) including 2 KU students gave presentations about hot topics in their countries in Japanese.

 

     An international student from Indonesia talked about a big earthquake which occurred in Indonesia in November 2022 and other recent natural disasters in the country.  When the earthquake happened, people in the country fell into confusion and it is said that there seemed to be some reasons in terms of infrastructure why the damage was so severe.  Now people prepare for bigger natural disasters in the future, she said, and she was praying for the people’s safety.

 

      Another student from Switzerland gave a presentation about the invasion of Ukraine by Russia that has started since February, focusing on the difficulty of being the permanently neutral power.  Regarding the weapons made in Switzerland, she explained that there happened to be a quarrel between Switzerland and the Government of Germany, which is the country imports the weapons. As a citizen of Switzerland, she said Switzerland shouldn’t have made weapons because Swiss is a Permanent Neutral Country and should pray for world peace.  She felt sad that the country thinks only about its own safety.

 

      All presentations were very interesting and they made the participants think critically. The symposium became a very good opportunity to share the news of the world.
