Topics will include:
UTokyo students will also attend classes focusing on Bangladeshi affairs and the Bengali language while AUW students take Japanese language classes. At the end of the program, students will share their learning outcomes at a symposium which will be open to attendees from both within and outside the university.
In addition to lectures and the symposium, the program will offer a one-day excursion around Tokyo, participation in cultural events, and a visit to the Fast Retailing Foundation, the sponsor of the program.
