Three students from OIT participated in the online summer program from September 9 to 10, hosted by Thai-Nichi Institute of Technology (TNI), Thailand.

Until last year, students from TNI came to OIT in order to learn “Monodzukuri" such as manufacturing, and accordingly, OIT students went to TNI to join exchange programs.

This year, however, TNI arranged programs online for students of its partner universities in Japan due to COVID-19, and approximately 30 Japanese students joined.

Most of the programs were carried out interactively, and both students from Japan and Thailand enjoyed communicating through the Internet. TNI students introduced many things, such as the Thai culture, Thai traditional dance, and the Thai language, to Japanese students.

Having physically interactive experiences would have been the best to get a feel for different cultures, but attending virtual programs gave us the precious opportunity to rethink the potential of online programs.
