【Event Report】International exchange program with diplomats

On Saturday, December 9th 2017, RIRIE (College of IR Students’ group of international exchange) and the College of IR held an international exchange program with 32 diplomats and government employees from various countries and regions who are studying Japanese and Japanese cultures, and 13 IR students at the Japan Foundation Kansai International Center in OSAKA.

All Ritsumeikan participants were keen to learn new things and appeared to have a really meaningful time. After the main event, some of us had dinner together at the canteen. During that time, we shared cultures and future plans. We also had the opportunity to talk with many people.

 

It was really valuable for all the participants to talk with diplomats and government employees. Through such events, we can forge good relationships beyond borders. This connection motivates students on our international activities.

RIRIE is going to plan this kind of international exchange programs henceforth. The next event will be one with high school students from South Korea in February, 2018. We look forward to getting many applicants.
