Today’s announcement is about a lecture presentation series. The Fukuoka International Student Support Center is in Kokusai Hiroba, located on the 3^rd floor of ACROS Fukuoka. There they hold the Nihon Bunka Juku every 4^th Saturday of the month.

The “Nihon-Bunka-Juku” is a Japanese cultural class that invites lecturers who have been in the forefront of various fields, such as Japanese traditional, local, business and/or youth cultures, to educate overseas students and local citizens about Japan, deepening their understanding while also aiming to foster positive opinions about the culture. At the same time, the school offers a place for Japanese young people and others in the local community to nurture their understanding of our global society.

In the first part of the event, Ken Katayama, a member of Ikebana International, will present on the theme, What is Ikebana? Afterwards, participants will be able to try their hand at ikebana. 

There will be a Group Discussion in the second part of the event. The volunteer group Omusubi-gumi will run the session and the discussion will be about making a better future for Nihon Bunka Juku and will help deepen understanding between participants.

It is free to attend the event, but please be aware that seating is limited to 100 guests on a first-come, first-served basis. Also, after the seminars, there will be an open intercultural exchange meeting. It costs ¥300 to participate for the general public, but students are free of charge.
