ITO Masuru

The Summer Program was a refreshing and memorable experience.  What stood out to me was the chance to explore topics I had never studied before, such as the Enneagram and population aging, which broadened my perspective in unexpected ways.  Just as meaningful were the everyday moments of learning and talking with people from different cultural backgrounds, which made the experience feel engaging and real.  Since the program ended, many of us have stayed in touch and built lasting connections.  I am sincerely grateful to Bai Xian for creating this opportunity, and now have a deeper understanding of the importance of building bridges across cultures.
