As part of the project to support the globalization of faculty and staff, the Kyoto International Business Department of the University Consortium is working to share examples of efforts by member universities for internationalization.
We are pleased to announce that the International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: University Consortium Kyoto International Business Department) is planning to hold a member exchange seminar on the theme of “Acceptance of Students from Kyiv, Ukraine”, but at the same time, it will be positioned as a seminar to share examples of efforts for internationalization by the Consortium of Universities Kyoto member universities.
【Theme】
“Support for the acceptance of Ukrainian and Kyiv students, including governments, companies, schools, etc. ~With the voices of those who have actually evacuated~”
Currently, various companies, organizations, schools, etc. in Kyoto City are providing various forms of support to people evacuated from Ukraine, including Kyiv City. The University Consortium Kyoto and the International Student Study Kyoto Network are participating as advisory organizations in the “Ukraine-Kyiv Kyoto Citizen Support Network,” which is organized by Kyoto City, the Kyoto City International Association, and the Kyoto Kyiv Exchange Association.
On the day of the event, we are planning a roundtable discussion with one Ukrainian about his evacuation experience and representatives of various support groups. We hope that this seminar will not only lead to further promotion of support for students in Kyiv, Ukraine, etc., but will also deepen the understanding of students facing various difficulties around the world, and will be of some help as an opportunity to open up many perspectives, such as further raising the international awareness of each member.
