The Winter School program was created to attract international students to study at Gifu University in expectation of the future implementation of international collaborative education programswith the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IITG) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia(UKM: The National University of Malaysia). In the 2nd Winter School program, a total of eightstudents from the two universities took part for about three weeks from December 5, 2016. They
engaged in research work at the laboratories, attended special lectures offered by Gifu University
teaching staff, Japanese language and culture classes and took part in inspection tours of local
industries. All eight students are topnotch students at the two universities, who won theattendance slots (only one in every 10 applicants was chosen from each university). From the 2nd
Winter School program onwards, a mixture of students from Gifu University, IITG and UKM has achance to take part in simulated lectures taught by the professors invited from IITG and UKM toGifu University. These simulated lectures are designed to prepare for international collaborativeeducation programs soon to be implemented among the three universities. Inspection tours of
local industries are also expected to be conducive to the realization of Gifu University’s goal ofdeveloping "glocal" human resources who are blessed with both global and local insights.
The Winter School program will continue to be in place in the hope that it will evolve into something that encourages international students to pursue
business careers in Japan after developing a profound understanding about Japanese businesses and industries.

Message from an International Student"I'll be what I want to be"

Now Studying at
Gifu University
from the UkraineZLOBIN VLADYSLAV,

By
Research Student, Faculty of Engineering
Coming to Japan was a real "dream come true" moment for me, but
I did not expect to come to Japan as a student at all. When I arrived
in Japan, there were too many unfamiliar things, and I felt like "Rip
Van Winkle." Before coming to Japan, I studied hard to gain basic
knowledge about the country and its people. Nonetheless, I had tobe very careful not to offend others in my daily life for some timeafter my arrival. Three months have already passed since I came toGifu City, and little by little, I am getting used to my life here.
The current unstable economic situation of my home country, theUkraine, is resulting in soaring rate of unemployment andincreasing commodity prices, but I do hope that the situation willchange for the better in the days to come.
My first priority, of course, is to concentrate on my studies.
Because I majored in economics in my home university, I thought
studying math and science including thermal dynamics at Gifu
University might be a little difficult for me, but I decided to take on
the challenge of these subjects no matter what. Just like manyother youngsters today, I am worried about my future and have astrong sense of frustration, but I know I am more blessed with
opportunities for success here in Japan than my counterparts in
the Ukraine.
I have become very interested in the tea ceremony since coming toGifu City and decided to become a member of the tea ceremonyclub whose practice is conducted at the International House, Gifu
University. I was very impressed by a tea master making andserving tea so gracefully. At first, it was extremely difficult for me
to use the tea whisk properly, but thanks to the instruction of myteacher, I am improving my skills every day. I hope I can learn tomove more elegantly by refining my sensitivity through tea

ceremony practice.
I am also enthralled by the rich natural environment of Gifu City. As
far as I can see, the city is surrounded by beautiful mountains andfull of clear water. People here are preserving old houses that
remind visitors of ancient times. Whenever I stroll around quiet
residential areas, I feel happy and enjoy my time to the fullest.
After graduating from Gifu University, I want to find a job and live
in a city like Gifu City for life.
Many people around me are working hard to make their dreams
come true, and I would like to try my best in my studies and incultivating my skills in the tea ceremony. I will continue to do mybest to realize my goal in life, "Be what I want to be."3

Message from a Student Studying Abroad"My Favorite, the Land of Smiles"
Yuki Noda

By, Training Course for Teachers at
Special Needs School, Faculty of Education
About six months have passed since I arrived in the Kingdom ofThailand in August 2016. Now I feel how lucky I am able to studyin Thailand when I look back on the past six months. I am thefirst Gifu University student to study in Thailand and I am
currently studying at Kasetsart University. Although I visited anumber of foreign countries before, Thailand is the first nationthat I have lived and studied in as an exchange student. At first,
I was concerned about the safety of the country and thelanguage barrier. When I arrived in Thailand, I did notunderstand Thai at all, and the English spoken by Thais was also
hard to comprehend as many Thais speak English with distinctive accents (just like English spoken by Japanese). However, as
this nation is often dubbed "The Land of Smiles," many people
come to help me whenever I am in trouble. Even when I messed
up something and people around me rushed to my assistance,
they always have big smiles and say, "(That’s all right)." I
am happiest whenever I encounter such kind and warm reactions
by Thais.
Kasetsart University has many faculties and departments andthe exchange students study in the Thai course or the English
program. I started to study at the Faculty of Education, but allclasses are conducted in Thai only in the faculty, so the university kindly arranged a special program for me which includes

Currently studying at
Kasetsart University（Thailand）

extracurricular activities, excursions with Thai students andone-on-one Thai lessons (three hours per week), etc. Everyteacher is very kind and I made many Thai friends, and went tovarious places with them during this program. My Thai skills
have improved day by day through my continued studying andspeaking practice. In addition to the one-on-one Thai lessons, I
have started to attend the regular Thai course and study reading
and writing at the university. When I was not able to read or
write Thai, I felt deeply disappointed and frustrated. I was notable to order dishes at the university dining hall, where themenus were written in Thai only. But that was the moment when
I decided to study Thai by myself in addition to taking regularclasses at the university. After becoming more capable in Thai, I
now manage to express what I want to eat at restaurants and mylife is getting much easier here. I feel particularly pleased when
I realize that people understand me, and I understand them.
Having said that, I still feel embarrassed when I am not able torespond in Thai quickly enough when I am spoken to all of asudden, despite the message being simple and easy. I could
never have experienced this mixture of joy and regret if I had
never come to Thailand and forced myself into Thai-onlysituations. I hope I can spend many more meaningful days
attending a variety of events and activities, as well as meetingwith friends during my stay in this country. When I return toJapan, I want to help people from different countries who arehaving trouble, just like I have been helped by many kind Thai
people. I believe this notion of mutual help and assistancecomes from my own experience of being a foreigner in Thailand.
I have had many more wonderful experiences here, but there
isn't enough space to write about them all. I am truly gratefuland fortunate for the opportunity I was given to study inThailand.

Message from a Student Studying Abroad"Getting the Message Across"
Hiroshi Nagano,

By
United Graduate School of Veterinary Sciences
I am currently conducting research on hypothalamic neurons in
New Orleans, in the United States of America through TOBITATE!
Young Ambassador Program of the Japan Student Services
Organization (JASSO). Four months have already passed since
my arrival in the U.S., and it is time for me to review what I havelearned so far and how I will spend the rest of my time here inthis country. I would like to write about one interesting episodethat actually happened to me.
One day, when I went to a restaurant with my American friend,
the waitress who was supposed to serve our table did not cometo take our orders because she was so absorbed in her conversations with her co-workers. When I was about to call anotherwaitress, my friend stopped me and left the table to order ourdishes. After finishing our meals, my friend asked to speak to therestaurant manager at the cashier and very calmly said to him,
"We didn't leave a tip on the table because the waitress just kept
on chatting without coming to take our orders." On our way
home, when I asked him why he did not call another waitress, hesaid, "Even if I called another waitress, that waitress would notchange her attitude toward work, so I told the truth to the
manager. What do you think? " I said, "I have no objection to youractions, but if it were me, I would not go to the trouble of talking

about it with the manager." Myfriend looked puzzled with myanswer and said, "Why do you
need to put up with such badservice? Why not speak yourmind? " When I heard this, I
instantly recalled one scene.
When I was having a discussion with my supervisor about
my research by quoting passages from other authors’ theses, heasked me, "Are you of the same opinion as these authors? Whatdo you think about this matter yourself? " Before that moment, I
had been trying hard to become a person able to read thesituation and be a good mind reader for everyone. I was simply
a "yes-man" aiming to please everyone and always held myemotions in check. In the U.S. where people of many different
ethnicities live together, they do not always have the same
opinion. What is important is to make our opinion heard andaccept the opinions of others. This is one of the things I learned
from my studies in the U.S. and I want to continue my life andresearch activities here for the remaining months with this new
philosophy on life in mind.
