On July 16, international exchange students from North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia, participating in the Hiroshima University Study Abroad Program (HUSA) 2019-2020 conducted a presentation of their Practical Research Group Project titled the “Glocal Leadership Project: Cooperation of University & Local Society ~Self-Support System: Discover Hiroshima~”.  This became the 2nd Midyear presentation seminar for the Projects.

Five groups of international exchange students in the HUSA Program 2019-2020 reported the completion of their practical group projects in the seminar chaired by the associate professor Naomi Tsunematsu of Morito Institute of Global Higher Education. Students have undertaken the projects, such as “Guide to Living in Saijo with Dietary Restrictions,” “Guide for Onsen in Hiroshima Prefecture,” “Life with New Coronavirus Influence”, “Introduction of Second-hand Shops in Saijo,” and “Useful Terms in Living in Japan,” etc.

The seminar was held as open seminar and students received valuable feedback from people from professors, graduate students, international students and Japanese students of Hiroshima University, and municipal government officials. Students gained insights into how they could cooperate with local people. The project results will be reported on the HUSA Program homepage for open access.
