During March 12-25, 2023 – Aoyama Gakuin University (AGU), Japan, and Chula Engineering organized the students’ short-term exchange program, so-called “AGU Program 2023”. The program brought together Japanese students from AGU and Thai students from Chula Engineering for a unique cultural experience to promote friendship, cultural understanding, and international cooperation. The exchange program allowed students from Aoyama Gakuin University to study at Chula Engineering, experience campus life, and participate in cultural activities. The program provided an opportunity for all students to learn about the culture, language, and customs of their Thai and Japanese counterparts, gain valuable insights into their respective fields of study, and develop lifelong friendships. The program enabled our students to experience the rich culture and academic excellence of Chula Engineering while building lasting relationships with their Thai buddies. We believe this program created a bridge of understanding and friendship between the two nations. The exchange program was run from March 12 to 25, 2023, and involved 12 students from AGU and 14 students from Chula Engineering. Participants were selected based on their academic achievements, language proficiency, and willingness to learn and engage with their counterparts.
