The Kumamoto Student Exchanges Promotion Conference held Welcome Party (Spring)
On Sunday June 20th, 2021 Welcome Party (Spring) for international students in Kumamoto Prefecture was held online. The party was hosted by The Kumamoto Student Exchanges Promotion Conference which strives to familiarize newly arrived international students with Kumamoto and is carrying out various activities throughout the year.
It was held remotely this year, and over 80 international and Japanese university students and staff members joined the party. Five international students gave speech as representatives of their universities. The students enjoyed fun games that the student supporters prepared, and also there was time for free interaction.
Kumamon appeared as a special guest, and performed dance and instructed how to properly wash hands and gargle. The participants seemed to have enjoyed them.
Participants offered comments about the event, such as “The event was held remotely but today was better than face-to-face communication” and “If there is another event like this, I will willingly participate again.”
The Kumamoto Student Exchanges Promotion Conference will continue to provide International students, Japanese students and local residents with more opportunities for them to experience global interaction in the future.
