The Kumamoto Student Exchanges Promotion Conference held Welcome Party (Autumn)
On Saturday November 27th, 2021 Welcome Party (Autumn) 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.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the international students still cannot enter Japan, so it was held remotely via Zoom this year. Around 60 international and Japanese university students joined the party.
This time student supporters prepared online quiz and bingo games about Japanese history and culture which helped most of the participants to deepen a relationship with each other.
Participants offered comments about the event, such as “I’m glad that I joined this event. I also appreciated the host for letting us stay a bit longer to have a free talk.” and “I hope that there will be more activities like this in the future!”
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.

Web Open Campus 2021 “Summer Festa” was held by Center for International Education
Web Open Campus 2021 event “Summer Festa” was held on 21 August on Zoom. It was organized by the Center for International Education (KU).
This year, we planned the event which high school students can exchange through the roundtable with Global Leader Course Students at KU. 47 students from each prefecture in Kyushu joined the event. The Global Leader Course students offered a simple introduction and guidance to participants in regard to an entrance exam, the multidisciplinary studies class, study abroad experience and the Global Leader Course program.
Afterwards, the participants offered comments about the event, for example “The feeling that I want to go the Kumamoto University as GLC student is getting stronger.” and “I was able to picture college life concretely because I heard the real opinion from the GLC students”
Kumamoto University’s Global Youth Campus project will continue to offer more opportunities for high school students to experience global education and interaction with international students.
