ASIAN SATURDAY, the second event of the series in 2025, was held in two parts under the theme of Asia. 

In session1, 5 middle and high school students from Hiroshima Prefecture and 13 international students from Asian countries (Indonesia, Cambodia, China, Malaysia, and Myanmar) participated. The international students began by giving presentations introducing the traditional costumes and cultural practices of their home countries. Afterward, the middle and high school students joined the international students in trying on the ethnic costumes, taking commemorative photos, and learning more about each country’s customs and traditions.

In session2, international students from Asian countries and regions (India, Indonesia, Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Myanmar) hosted booths to introduce the history and culture of their home countries. They also engaged the audience with stage performances featuring traditional attire and musical presentations. Students from Indonesia, South Korea, China, Thailand gave presentations about their study abroad experiences. Aside from that, Higashi-Hiroshima City also set up a booth, providing disaster prevention information to citizens and participants.

Despite the cold weather, the event welcomed 146 participants, including local residents of Higashi-Hiroshima and students from Hiroshima University. Participants enjoyed interacting with international students and deepened their understanding of the Asian countries and regions. We plan to hold this international exchange series in January 24th and March 14th, 2026.
