2022年後期の「英語コミュニケーションⅠ」では、Flip というアプリを使い動画のアップロードを通してウクライナにあるAcademician Stepan Demianchuk International University (ASDIU) の学生たちと交流してきました。
投稿数は、約1ヵ月の間に200を超えました。自己紹介から、好きな食べ物、将来の夢、もし生まれ変われたらなど、戦争と平和など様々なテーマについて語り合いました。
ASDIUの先生から、記念にクラスの写真と教育学科の学生へ次のようなメッセージが届きました。

ASDIUの先生からのメッセージ
These days a subject of weapon is becoming more and more common. But are there any other kinds of weapon that can bring improvement and innovation instead of destruction? According to Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Educators' task is not only class planning and assessment. As educators we are also responsible for shaping a personality that is able to communicate in the globalized world.
The today's world represents an epoch with its advanced level of interaction. Flipgrid is a bright example of a new educational platform that has made Japan and Ukraine closer to each other despite thousands of kilometers.
As coordinators of the university intercultural project club "Opening the Borders", we would like to express our deepest gratitude for giving our students an opportunity in these hard times for Ukraine to expand their background and enrich their cultural experience. No doubt, it was really valuable for the participants of the joint project who are ready for open communication that has to be constantly cultivated and developed.
