From Saturday, August 1 to Sunday, August 2, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies (KUFS) held its summer open campus event.

The opening section of the program on Saturday featured a performance by the hula dance club as well as a performance of "World Sound Journey." On Sunday, the dance club performed and introductions on appealing aspects of each department were delivered through "Departmental Speeches," through which visitors learned about the unique characteristics of the various education programs and the general feel of the faculty and students.

During the "Student Growth Stories" segment, presentations were delivered by students from the Department of Hispanic Studies and Department of British and American Studies (both part of the Faculty of Foreign Studies). They described their reasons for choosing KUFS, some differences they noticed after enrolling at the school, their pursuit of foreign language skills, and personal growth achieved through getting to know new people. Visitors listened with fascination to the students' real-life experiences.

Additionally, explanations were provided on the "Airline Studies Program" special seminar program at KUFS, an employee from Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (JAL) delivered a lecture, and Associate Professor Yosuke Kishioka from the Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences led a participatory-style class session based on the theme "What is Leadership?" These served as opportunities for visitors to experience for themselves the practical education provided by KUFS, which transcends language learning alone.

During the student-organized "World Quiz Adventure," participants explored the campus while taking part in a quiz game, which helped them form new bonds with the KUFS students running the program. They concluded this quiz session with a commemorative photograph involving all participants. The open campus also included explanations on entrance examinations and study abroad programs, a "Touch the World" session, and many other helpful sessions, making for a truly rewarding two days.
