Kanda University of International Studies announced that it will change the first semester calendar for 2020 due to student volunteer activities during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.As a special case, the overall schedule will be advanced, classes will be held on all holidays during Golden Week, and summer holidays will be closed during the tournament.
Kanda University of International Studies has seven national, public and private universities (Kansai University of International Studies, Kanda University of International Studies, Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, Kobe City University of Foreign Studies, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies, etc. As the secretary school of the "National University of Foreign Studies" (Nagoya University of Foreign Studies), we have been focusing on training language service volunteers since 7.By 2015, 2019 students have attended the "Interpreter Volunteer Training Seminar" held in collaboration with each member school, and the students are active in various international competitions and events through the Volunteer Human Resources Bank.At the Pyeongchang 7 Winter Olympics, about 1758 students supported the tournament management, and at the Rugby World Cup 2018, which is being held, a partnership agreement was signed with the Organizing Committee and seminars were held.
Kanda University of International Studies wants students to make full use of their language skills, communication skills, and flexible responsiveness at volunteer sites at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We decided to make this change.Classes that have been advanced will be handled during Golden Week (May 5th to 4th), which was originally scheduled for a holiday, and classes on other holidays.
