On Sunday, May 11, an exchange event for international and NUFS students, “Quiz & Photo Rally in Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden” was held. A total of 166 students (68 international students and 98 NUFS students) participated in the event. They were divided into 37 teams to search for 14 checkpoints set up in the breezy Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden in May. In order to increase the number of students who could interact with each other, this time teams consisted of two international students and three NUFS students (usually two NUFS students). There were several points that were difficult to find, and by working together as a team to find them, the participants were able to deepen exchanges with each other.
This event has already been held six times and has become a popular event, with many students participating each time. The NUFS International Office plans to hold more such events in the future to promote exchange between international students and NUFS students.
