On the first and second Saturdays (6th and 7th January) from 4pm to 4:30 in Japanese and from 4:30 to 5pm in English, KIC students from Africa share their stories about what has surprised them once in Kobe, Japan, what they have found out through their life there, and other things they found intriguing and mind-blowing in Kobe or in Japan in general.

This time we tried talking with them about the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake on January 17th.

Also, we talk about the research on constructing a system for providing childcare knowledge to women who have children using smartphones, and the research on building hospital information and reservation mechanism by ICT.
