Mar 21, 2025

On March 14th, "International Exchange Gathering 2024" was held at Hamamatsu University School of Medicine (HUSM). The event aimed to strengthen friendships among international students and researchers of our university, people who are involved in international exchange activities, and local community members who have supported the university continuously. Approximately 70 participants engaged in lively conversations in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
During the gathering, nine HUSM medical students who were visiting Kenya as part of their "International Service Learning" program, gave an immersive live online report on their activities. To deepen understanding of the backgrounds of international students, representatives from five countries introduced their home countries' food cultures using slides they had prepared. Each presentation was engaging, featuring appetizing photos and illustrations. Additionally, the report on the activities of HOPE, a student international exchange club at HUSM, which also served as the English MC for the whole event, was presented. A lively atmosphere marked the conclusion of the event.
The event provided a wonderful opportunity for people from diverse cultures and backgrounds to interact casually and build stronger connections.
