From 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 15th, the Health and Physical Education Laboratory conducted an inter-university collaboration project with Kyoto Koka Women’s University called the “Universal Sports Experience” at the Budo Gymnasium at KUFS. A total of 18 students from the two universities came together and played sitting volleyball, a sport also played in the Paralympic Games.

First, Associate Professor Kazutoshi Uchida of Kyoto Koka Women’s University showed the basics of the sport, allowing the students to experience firsthand the difficulty of moving between positions, as well as passing and spiking. In the second half, KUFS Associate Professor Daisuke Nakajima, who teaches liberal arts and is also the Director of the Division of Student Affairs, instructed the students to perform team practices and play games. The teams were excited when they won some long rallies and great points.

Despite coming from different universities, the students were able to deepen their understanding of disabilities and parasports through this inter-university exchange event.
