International Exchange Soft Volleyball Event held at TUFS

June 27, 2018

On Saturday the 16th of June, the student organization TOFSIA (Tokyo University of Foreign Studies International Association) held an ��International Exchange Soft Volleyball Event��.

TOFSIA is a student organization that aims to increase interaction between international exchange students and regular students at TUFS. TOFSIA usually holds two parties a month, and sightseeing trips to places such as Asakusa, but this was the first sports-related event they have ever held.

When asked why they decided to participate, one exchange student said ��I only just came to Japan and my Japanese isn��t very good, so I thought maybe I could make some Japanese friends through playing sports��. While the event had an awkward start, in the latter half of the event, participants started scoring, and everyone was high-fiving and having fun.

At the end of the event, the exchange students and regular students exchanged contact details, making for a successful event.
