The program coordinator traveled to Rwanda and Zambia from November to December. She visited our partner universities, Japanese embassies, JICA offices, internship partners, and study tour partners.
\nWe hope that exchanges between the Zambian partner university, the Zambian University, and the Rwandan partner university, the Protestant Institute of Arts and Social Sciences, and TUFS will become more active than ever before.<\/p>\n

*We received the full support of the Hokkaido University Africa Office in Lusaka<\/a> about the business trip to the University of Zambia. Once again, we would like to express our deep gratitude. Our appreciation also goes to the exchange coordinators of the each University. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

In August 2021, we conducted an Rwanda Online Study Tour, and\u00a0 Africanote <\/a>\u00a0provided us the Kigali online tour and the Nyamata Memorial Church online tour<\/a>. The coordinator met Mr. Norihiro Takeda, whom she had met many times online, face-to-face for the first time. He showed the coordinator around the city where they visited during the online tour. At the time of the online tour, it was under construction, but when she visited the site, the construction was finished and the impression of the town was completely changed. The experience of being able to notice the changes in the streets of the places she visited online gave her an opportunity to reflect on the significance of online tours. Africanote provides online tours and onsite study tours and shares the latest information on Rwanda on Twitter<\/a> and You tube<\/a>. Please check them out.<\/p>\n
