🍙 What better way to share your culture than through food?

Our Japanese students volunteered at a WSU - Waikato Students' Union event, helping Waikato students make delicious onigiri and learn more about Japanese culture. It was a fun afternoon filled with smiles, new experiences, and cultural exchange.

Well done to our student volunteers, and thank you to WSU - Waikato Students' Union for hosting such a great event! 💙

✨ Language learning is about more than words. It's about connection, confidence, and cultural exchange. 🌿 Some of our students from Japan 🇯🇵 were invited to join Dr Keiko Umeda's Japanese language class in Te Kura Toi - School of Arts - University of Waikato. It was inspiring to see students from different backgrounds learning from one another and sharing their experiences. As one student reflected, "Everyone's Japanese is excellent, and it made me want to work hard on my English, too." A huge thank you to Dr Umeda and Dr Nishimura and their classes for hosting our students and making them feel so welcome. 🥰🥳 Waikato International, the University of Waikato The University of Waikato Navitas

💕 A special farewell today for our Japanese students from 南山大学/Nanzan University as they depart Hamilton and return home.

It has been wonderful to see the strong bonds they have formed with their homestay parents during their time in New Zealand. These connections and shared experiences are such an important part of the international student journey and create memories that last a lifetime.

We wish them safe travels and all the very best for the future. Thank you to our amazing homestay families for making students feel so welcome and supported. 💙
