IES Tokyo Shinbun Vol. 72

一般社団法人 IES Tokyo Shinbun IES Abroad全米大学連盟 2015. 2.1 13 students from University of Minnesota were with us from the end of 2014 for their Global Seminar “Ritual and Resilience in Japan”. They spent 3 weeks in Tokyo with over night trips to Tohoku and Kyoto to learn how resilience is integrated, practiced and promoted in Japanese culture. The picture is from the day they visited the Meiji Jingu Shrine on the coming of age day! We had 14 students from Wofford College, South Carolina for their 2 weeks-long interim course “Studying Japan’s History, Government and Culture”. The students took Japanese language classes, stayed with Japanese families during their time in Tokyo as well as lots of field trips in the city. They also traveled to western Japan, Kyoto, Nara, and Hiroshima for the second half of the program for more cultural experiences. The picture is from the lunch gathering with the students from Kanda University of International Studies. They both enjoyed talking to each other who were in same age as they were and shared the differences between Japanese and American students life.
