Since the start of the first semester of the 2024 academic year, our school has welcomed short-term international students—10 from United University and 4 from Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages. After classes, active exchange activities between our students and the visiting students are held regularly.

As part of these efforts, we run a program called “Nihao Japanese” every Thursday after school for about an hour. In this program, short-term international students and Japanese students form mixed groups to enjoy board games, card games, and various other activities together.

Students introduce games from their home countries, and they often discover surprising differences in the rules of familiar games like UNO, which leads to lively and fun discussions.

While English is sometimes used for communication, one of the most appealing aspects of the program is that students can connect through smiles and shared experiences—even without words.

All activities are planned and led by our students. Driven by a genuine desire to welcome our guests and learn about different cultures, they actively engage in creating meaningful exchange experiences.

Ube Kosen is committed to internationalizing our campus and creating an environment where students can engage in global exchange without having to go abroad.
