「KOBE Bridging JAPAN & AFEICA through ICT」

On the first and second Saturdays (3rd and 10th February) 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 will introduce about ‘Gacaca’, one of the mechanisms to stand up from the massacre of Rwanda.

Also, we talk about the research on constructing “Rwanda’s product and promotion system to encourage purchase of agricultural products”, and the research on ”a system for finding diseases of dates early so as not to reduce crop yield”
In February program, our guest students from KIC are Mr. KANDEKWE, (Guy on the left of the photo）from the Republic of Rwanda and Ms. HAMAIDI, Hadjer (on the right of the photo) from the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria.

They are with our regular personalities, Ms. Funayama (Left photo: Having worked in multiple African countries) and Prof. Nsenda (Architect originally from Democratic Republic of Congo and graduated from Osaka university graduate school).
