【Voices from the participants (excerpts)】
-Sometimes I didn’t understand the language well, and sometimes I didn’t do well enough, but I still received the most sincere encouragement and praise from my peers, which really made me more confident!
-The schedule consisting of lectures one day and a field trip one day was good.
-The lectures and field trips of the program were all quite satisfying. The length of the program, however, could be extended.
-It was good to meet many students from different backgrounds. I was able to get to know more about other countries’ cultures.
-It was a good opportunity for me to think about something new, as I have not had much opportunity to think about the concept of Diverse&Inclusive society in general.
-The speakers in this course not only comin’ from educational field, but also NGO, Government organization, etc. It was really great to know how inclusive and diversity should implemented in every field.
