OUS Japanese Language Education Seminar students participated in the "3rd HEART.FULL Expo" held at AEON Mall Okayama on Saturday, July 13th. This event, organized by the Okayama Prefectural Human Rights and Gender Equality Division, aimed to promote awareness and action toward solving human rights issues while fostering human rights awareness activities in collaboration with the younger generation within the prefecture. This year, seven groups from universities across Okayama Prefecture participated in the expo.

Three students from our Japanese Language Education Seminar participated in the event, engaging with attendees with the card game they prepared. The game allowed participants to consider essential points when communicating with non-native Japanese speakers. The event's location at AEON Mall Okayama offered a valuable chance to interact not only with participants from other universities but also with the general public.

After the event, the participating groups were recognized for their contributions to human rights awareness activities, and a plaque was presented to each group.

Through such activities, we hope to convey the significance of solving human rights issues to a broad audience driven by the efforts of university students. We plan to continue these proactive initiatives in the future.
