How it was: classes in a Japanese online school through the eyes of OSU students

OSU students took part in the Ehime University Winter Online School «Approaches to Sustainable Development in Japan: Energy, Culture and Society».

Classes were held daily through December 7–11 and covered 3 topics: society, culture, energy. Moreover, students who study Japanese language had a chance to practice their language skills. Students from the two universities had lively discussions and strived to learn maximum about each other.

Every day after classes students could try a new culture: they had an online learning in origami and calligraphy, learnt how to do physical exercises together with radio Taiso and attended a master class in Japanese cuisine. The students also met with Mr. Sow, famous Japanese Kabuki dancer. The artist introduced students to the art of traditional dance.

— 33 OSU students attended the school and got the certificates for participation. Our students did a good job while developing and demonstrating presentations, using English and representing OSU in the international arena, — concluded Lyudmila Dokashenko, Director of OSU Department for International Cooperation and Education the Development.
