ASIA ACTION AWARDS

As part of our efforts to further promote "Asian power" within the university, we will be holding the following event. We are now accepting applications from within the university to participate. Please review the details and apply if you are eligible.
The ASIA ACTION AWARDS is a presentation award that encourages you to express in your own words the "Asian skills" you have cultivated at Asia University. All your actions and experiences related to Asia are eligible, including having knowledge about Asia, being able to speak Asian languages, having visited Asian regions, or having friends in Asia. Please share your own unique "Asian skills" gained through learning and challenges during your university life, such as classes, language studies, studying abroad, overseas experiences, and intercultural exchange.
 
This award is open to both individuals and teams. The first step is to submit a designated poster. Finalists who pass the initial screening will advance to a public finalist session, attended by university staff. Through a free-style, face-to-face presentation demonstrating their unique "Asian power," they will passionately showcase the results of their learning and challenges. Various awards and participation benefits are available depending on the level of challenge undertaken.
