On November 12, 2009, an
international exchange exhibition
sponsored by the AFS
Kyoto branch was held at
the Kambaikan in Doshisha
University. The AFS Kyoto
branch plan and manage the
admission of students from
foreign countries and various
events of international
exchange. The administration
obtained support from the
host family, host school, and
volunteers of the working
society and was conducted
due to the student volunteers.
It provides an opportunity
for a close international
exchange and I apply myself
to the activity day by day
believing that mutual understanding
of the differences of
countries lead to world peace.
At the exhibition, they
introduced international students
who came to Kyoto
through AFS and displayed a
glimpse of their life in the
city through pictures and
videos. It also introduced
various international exchange
events and explained how the
students were going to
interact with their host
family. It was helpful to hear
experiences of people who
have been a host family in
the past. There were people
who stated, gEven though it
takes courage to have an
international student in our
own house, it actually looks
like a lot of fun.h I hope
many people were able to
take a step forward and that
it made them want to be
part of international exchanges
by participating this event.
