SADC Ambassador Relay Lecture Series Finale: Botswana/Angola

January 23, 2018

This relay lecture series is held every Wednesday from October onwards as a required subject for first-year undergraduates majoring in African Studies at TUFS. In 2018, these lectures were given by ambassadors from 11 different countries. The final two lectures were held on Wednesday the 10th of January and Wednesday the 17th of January.

【Lecture 10】 January 10th (Wednesday), Botswana, Ms. Katlego W. Phele, First Secretary
【Lecture 11】January 17th (Wednesday), Angola, Mr. Manuel Domingos Nogueira, Minister Counsellor

The lecturers carefully devised the content of their lectures, and held quizzes at the ends of these lectures to review said content. They also used simple English to introduce the geography, political movements, economic/industrial trends, nature and tourism of their countries, as well as their cooperative relations with Japan. The students proactively asked questions based on their own self-study, and enjoyed discussing these with the ambassadors.
This relay lecture series aims to further relations between Japan and the countries of Southern Africa, and has been held at TUFS since 2012. TUFS was able to hold this lecture series again in the 2018 academic year thanks to the kindness of the ambassadors. TUFS plans to hold this lecture series again in the next academic year on every Wednesday (second period) during the fall quarter.
