International Month (国際月間)

Our world consists of tons of countries, all scattered across different continents. The unique locations contribute to varying climates, ways of life, languages, and cultures. In the current era of globalization, countries are continually influenced by each other in aspects ranging from food and clothing to sports and beyond, giving rise to the concept of "internationalism."

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Why don't they take off their shoes before entering the room?" or "Why do some cultures use chopsticks for eating?" These are the kinds of questions that may pop into your mind as you encounter more people in our interconnected world. Understanding different ways of thinking, beliefs, and cultures is not only beneficial but also essential for embracing contemporary international society happily. Exploring other countries and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds can open your perspective, enrich your knowledge, spark inspiration, and pave the way for more opportunities. Moreover, if you have aspirations of setting up your own business in the future, this global exposure will undoubtedly fuel your growth.

This month, Iwate University proudly celebrates the spirit of internationalism through a series of engaging activities as part of "Iwate University International Month." Our aim is to promote international understanding and ignite a passion for global exchange among our students.

Our International Month is brimming with a variety of events, including the regular weekly gatherings like "All in English," "Nihao Chinese," and "Nihongo Café." We've also added some exciting events like the
- "Hello Exchange Student," where you can engage in conversations with our international exchange students at Iwate University.
- Challenge yourself and enhance your English skills by participating in the English Speech Contest.
- Delight in Japan's traditional storytelling art in English at the English Rakugo event.

Additionally, gain insights from career seminars hosted by graduates who have studied abroad and special lectures designed to provide you with an international perspective.

Take a look at the schedule below for all the details, and find the perfect time to join these enriching activities. We sincerely hope you thoroughly enjoy this month's events and deepen your understanding of global citizenship with us.
