The instructors came from a diverse range of countries: two from China, one from Sri Lanka, one from Italy, one from Indonesia, and one from Afghanistan. About 50 students from Okazaki High School participated in the session, listening attentively to presentations about the instructors&#8217; home countries and their research at Nagoya University. They actively asked many questions afterward.<\/p>\n<p>This program aimed to cultivate international awareness among high school students, enhance their English proficiency, and broaden their perspectives. For the international students at Nagoya University, it provided an opportunity to deepen their understanding of Japanese culture, explore career paths in education, and develop transferable skills. Additionally, from the university\u2019s perspective, the program sought to inspire high school students to develop an interest in research and encourage as many as possible to pursue doctoral studies in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The event concluded successfully, and post-event survey results indicated that certain objectives had been achieved.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
