EUROPEAN, NORTH AMERICAN, OCEANIAN, LATIN AMERICAN SATURDAY: Highlights from Our International Exchange Event

Hiroshima University held an international event, "EUROPEAN, NORTH AMERICAN, OCEANIAN, LATIN AMERICAN SATURDAY," on January 24th, 2026, at the Phoenix International Center MIRAI CREA. 

This "SATURDAY" series, which consists of four international exchange events in a year, was designed to foster community building among international citizens and cross-cultural exchange. By bringing together international students and residents of Higashi-Hiroshima from diverse backgrounds, the event aims to serve as a new platform for promoting internationalization within the city.

EUROPEAN, NORTH AMERICAN, OCEANIAN, LATIN AMERICAN SATURDAY, the third event of the series in 2025, was held in two parts under the theme of Europe, North America, Oceania and Latin America. 

International students from European, North American, Oceanian, Latin American countries and regions (France, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Ecuador, Uruguay, America, Kiribati) hosted booths to introduce the history and culture of their home countries. They also engaged the audience with stage performances featuring rural regions, language, traditional dance. 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 about 140 participants, including local residents of Higashi-Hiroshima and students from Hiroshima University. Participants enjoyed interacting with international students and deepened their understanding of the European, North American, Oceanian, Latin American countries and regions. We plan to hold this international exchange series in March 21st, 2026.
