Japanese Students at the University of Opole
Recently, a group of 12 Japanese students and teachers from Japan visited Opole and took part in the workshops organised by the University of Opole. Representatives of Kobe College participated in the classes related to social migration issues. Moreover, they prepared short presentations regarding specific cases in this sphere in order to solve the issues which occur in the world everyday. Additionally, there was organized an interesting discussion for our guests about the position of women in society and domestic violence. This conversation was conducted by special guests – the policemen from Głuchołazy. Visitors from Japan were also welcomed by the Mayor of Opole Arkadiusz Wiśniewski.
Besides, students of Kobe College had an opportunity to visit Radio Opole where two Japanese girls were on air. They pointed out that Opole is a beautiful city with centuries-old traditions and fascinating architecture. They also added that the visit to Europe is very momentous for them and gives the opportunity to learn.
This is the second visit of the Japanese to Poland in the framework of cooperation between the University of Opole and Kobe College.
