In this event, international students and Japanese university students (mainly from Tokyo and Tokai region) will discuss the theme related to the G7 Summit and Mie. Also, we will participate in various activities, such as sauntering about Ise shrine and the surrounding area, experiencing unique culture of the region, interacting with residents under the starry heavens, and more. Throughout the event, we expect both international and domestic students to have better understanding of social and regional issues, which will be conducive to both sides of the students in terms of developing new ideas and aims for their foreseeable future.
