Students who had returned from study abroad programs in the USA and Canada took part in our "Study Abroad Presentation" event recently. They did a fantastic job in bringing to life their experiences in San Marcos (California, USA) and on the GO Program in Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada).

Students explain what it was like to study in California

We first heard from the California group who spoke enthusiastically about their classes at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), campus life, homestays, and all of the cultural experiences that made their time in the USA so worthwhile.

All eyes on the screen

It was clear that this study abroad program in California had a great impact on our students, but it was also wonderful to hear that our students were able to introduce Hiroshima and Japanese culture to students around the world - a truly enriching, cross-cultural experience for all.
（中でも、日本や広島の文化を紹介したりといった異文化交流は印象深い時間になったようです。）

The presentations took place on a cold, snowy day here in Hiroshima, but for the students who had just come back from Canada perhaps it didn't seem so cold.
（報告会のこの日は雪となりましたが、続いて発表したカナダ留学から帰国したばかりの学生たちにとっては、カナダの寒さに比べると大したことはないようで元気に発表をしてくれました。）

Explaining about seasonal events on campus in Canada

The students spoke enthusiastically about their four months in Canada. They got a lot from a variety of events held at Okanagan College, enjoyed cross-cultural experiences with homestay families and other homestay students, and improved their English ability, and confidence levels, too.
（カナダでの4ヶ月間、それぞれの学生がオカナガン・カレッジでの学生生活やホストファミリーとの生活でかけがえのない経験や出会いを得ました。学生たちは英語力はもちろん、自信も身につけ、その成長は発表の様子からも伝わりました。）

GO Program students explain about the multicultural nature of their program

Our students on campus listened avidly and we are sure they were inspired by their senpai's experiences.

Thanks for your attention!

What great study abroad programs and what great presentations. Thanks to all the students for your hard work.
