★ This year’s seminar has ended ★
“What is the charm of Kyoto?” and “What kind of country is Japan?” Why don’t you actually experience the traditional culture of Japan and learn the know-how of English presentations so that you can introduce it in English when asked by people from overseas?
Students who are planning to study abroad, who are interested in studying abroad in the future, who want to explain Kyoto and Japan to people overseas in Japan, and who are not good at English presentations! Why don’t you learn English while having fun with like-minded friends beyond the boundaries of universities?
