[Sun, July 20] Connect Through "Kumihimo" Japanese Braiding! A Handmade International Exchange Event 🌍✨
Hello from the student organization BraveHearts!
This summer, we're hosting an international exchange event where international students and young Japanese people can experience making bracelets together using the traditional Japanese craft of "Kumihimo."
Are you thinking, "I'm interested in international exchange, but I don't know where to start..."? Or "I want to make new friends through Japanese culture!"? If so, this event is perfect for you!
Why not join us for an experience of "empathy and co-creation" by making something together, transcending language and cultural barriers? Natural conversation flows when you're working on a shared task, so don't worry if you're not confident in your Japanese or English skills!
Whether you love crafts or are a complete beginner, everyone is welcome. We look forward to seeing you there!
