Day three was spent with our roundtable groups finishing presentations for our final forum. Above is the beloved Toppo, a favorite snack of our group.
That evening was the Daimonji-yaki Okuribi, the bonfires that represent the return of the ancestors to the spirit world after they visit during the Obon festival. We were able to view the fire near Ritsumeikan.
Friday, August 17 was our final forum at the Kyoto International Foundation. We had keynote speeches by people working in international education and academia, and enjoyed a performance by the Kyoto Intercollegate Dance Team. JASC delegates presented on each site that we visited, and each roundtable gave a final presentation of what they had discussed throughout the conference. Our group created a video to present, which is now posted on YouTube, and this blog.
After the presentation, PopArt with Toppo!
After a dinner reception, a few of us headed to karaoke for a short while before heading home.
