Report<\/h2>\n

A total of 86 people from both inside and outside the university participated in this event.<\/p>\n

Starting with Prof.Takeuchi’s\u00a0 opening remarks, the participants sang “Momiji” under the leadership of student supporters, and then sang and danced the Ghanaian folk song “che che kule”. Following this, eight African exchange students introduced themselves and, in response to questions we gathered from the participants beforehand, they talked about their motives for choosing Japan (TUFS) as their study destination, their impressions of Japan, their favorite foods from Japan and their home countries, and their favorite folktales from their home countries. Then we connected online with TUFS students studying in African universities and they talked about their impressions of each country, what they learned, and their messages to exchange students. Next, we enjoyed an onomatopoeia quiz led by a student supporters, and after that, we had a speech from Tembo, who became a regular student of TUFS after experiencing being an exchange student at TUFS. The closing remark was given by Prof.Sasaki from PIASS.<\/p>\n

Many people attended the social event after the main part. In the middle of the social event, we had a speech from one of our supporters of the crowdfunding, Ms. Kyoko Kumada. In addition to the exchange students, regular students from African countries enrolled in master’s and doctoral programs at TUFS also participated in the network meeting. The network meeting seemed to be able to provid a valuable opportunity for students from African countries and participants from both inside and outside the university to deepen their exchange.<\/p>\n

This year was the first time that TUFS was able to accept students from all of our African partner universities at the same time, and especially from Stellenbosch University, we were able to accept the first memorable exchange exchange student. We hope that the interaction between people on and off campus and students from Africa will deepen and broaden, leading to continued exchanges both as individuals and as a university.<\/p>\n
