W.Y.T.S. (World Youth Tourism Summit)

The purpose of W.Y.T.S. is to know Japan from the perspective of sightseeing tourists and think about how to utilize it. As an I.S.A. member who acts internationally, it is essential to understand Japan and be able to talk about it appropriately to foreign people. 

ISAP (International Student Action Project)

The goal of ISAP is to acquire wide perspectives through action. We go to the Philippines every summer and do activities on dietary education, sanitation and so on. In addition, we have worked to build a water storage tank and cafeteria.

International Week is a student exchange program. The host countries include Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, China and others. The aim of this program is to understand the culture of the host country in terms of economy and business. 

Ex. (Exchange Program)

An exchange program is held during summer and spring vacations. The main content is interaction with students in a foreign country., We spend about one week and experience a foreign culture’s lifestyle. In 2019, Ex. was held in Vietnam, Indonesia and Mongolia.

I.S.A. has five chapters; Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Okayama, and Kyushu (as of 2023). Each chapter does some activities. New members are expected to go through an admission procedure at the chapter (it depends on where you live in).

There are some chapter activities such as discussion, playing sports and cooking of foreign food. Also, we hold Halloween and Christmas parties, a sports festival (playing sports which originated from foreign countries) and so on. Also, many members come to meet in Kansai (合宿) twice a year. Our goal is to become a more “international” person through these activities.
