11and Russia, the city has contacted three universities particularly interested in deepening exchange with Russia, and this September we will visit Yekaterinburg with students and university officials, and discuss student exchanges, universities’ intake of foreign students, and cooperation between our universities.” The participating Japanese universities all have connections to Russia, like Kobe City University of Foreign Studies, which has had a department dedicated to Russian language research since its founding and two years ago signed an exchange agreement with Yekaterinburg’s Ural Federal University. Kobe University, too, has partnerships with three Russian universities and one academy. Students at Kobe Gakuin University on the other hand organized cultural exchange events with Russian students both last year and the year before, which were big successes. In Yekaterinburg, roundtables will be held between students from both countries and presentations regarding Kobe and other universities will be made by Japanese students. In addition, events introducing and displaying Japanese cultural forms such as flower arrangement, tea ceremony and kyogen (traditional Japanese comic theater) will be held, as well as exchange events using youth culture to bring students from both countries together. Takuya Ueda, one of the participating students, has studied abroad at Ural Federal University and will use his experience with cultural and linguistic barriers to facilitate exchange between the two student groups. “When I was staying over there, the locals were very welcoming. At the time, there were few Japanese in Yekaterinburg, but many Russians were interested in Japan. Unfortunately I’ll only be there for a short stay this time, but hopefully we will be able to leave behind some positive results,” says Ueda.Mayor Hisamoto looks forward to the visit. “I would like to use this opportunity to strengthen academic and student exchange, as well as collaboration between our universities. As a representative of Kobe, a medical industry city and home to approximately 330 related businesses, I also hope to extend our cooperation to economic exchanges in the medical field and other areas.”Kobe mayor Kizo Hisamoto states that “Through this exchange, I expect that we can further develop the relations that Kobe and Japan as a whole have with Russia.”Four college students involved in the exchange project between Kobe and Yekaterinburg.
