文化・ファミリー交流グループ

Culture and Family Exchange Group

We have daily family interactions such as home visits, short trips, dining, etc., with international students to help them enjoy their off-campus life. We also attend YNU's IMP Research Presentation, Ferris's International Student's Farewell Speech, etc.

We organize the Cherry Blossom Viewing Party in April, the Cultural Festival in November, and participate in Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival in July with international students, to deepen their understanding of Japanese traditional culture, arts, and crafts. The annual Cultural Festival has been suspended due to the Coronavirus crisis for the last 3 years.  As an alternative, we implemented a virtual cultural festival. Please click or tap the button below "See the Magazine of the Cultural Festival Collections(2022)". Live recordings of Koto performances with international students and RKK members are now on youtube (please enjoy the videos below). These culture and family exchanges with international students, coupled with Japanese language study support, have helped to strengthen the bonds between international students and RKK members.
