It was an opportunity for me to reacquaint myself with this.

After the lunch exchange session, an exchange class (led by Professor Shingo Ashizawa) with students from the University's Department of Global Communication was held from 3:XNUMX p.m. Using two case studies as themes, we considered the frictions caused by stereotypes, prejudices, and preconceptions about different cultures and disabilities, and each group presented ideas on how to deal with them. Working in groups with students from different cultural backgrounds gave them a sense of ownership over the task, and although they felt a little nervous about communicating in English, they had lively discussions.
