at Shikata Campus hosted the X-mas &amp; Ema Fusion Party. Students from Japan, China, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Ghana, along with professors and administrative staff, participated in the event to promote international exchange and support the SDGs. In line with the SDGs, we recycled a discarded tree trunk and decorated it as a Christmas tree during the party. This activity promoted sustainable living by reducing waste and protecting nature. After self-introductions, students shared explanations of their Christmas and Ema traditions. They then created decorations and origami cranes, wrote their New Year&#8217;s wishes on cards, and enjoyed a gift exchange and potluck together. Students experienced a warm and harmonious environment, exchanging both traditions and cultures, and fostering global understanding.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span

L-Caf\u00e9 and the aims of the event. Afterwards, all participants briefly introduced themselves. A total of 38 participants attended, including students from Japan, Nepal, China, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Turkey, Vietnam, and Myanmar, as well as faculty and administrative staff members. In the first part of the program, students from El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Bolivia introduced the cultures and traditions of their home countries. In the second part, all participants enjoyed dancing together to Latin American music such as salsa, merengue, and cumbia. At the end of the event, participants spent time chatting, laughing, and deepening their understanding of one another&#8217;s cultures and interests, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout. As part of the ongoing efforts to promote internationalization on the Shikata Campus, these activities enabled students to improve their English and Japanese language skills while deepening their understanding of diverse cultures and traditions, and to share a meaningful time with one another.
