Item	Online Exchange between Vienna University and Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare (Japan-Austria language and friendship exchange)
Details	Online educational exchange using video conferencing between Vienna University and Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare/Kawasaki College of Allied Health Professions. Because of the Corona Pandemic our students from Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare and Kawasaki College of Allied Health Professions could not go abroad to practice their English skills. So, I reached out to my fellow professors at the Faculty of East-Asian Studies, Department of Japanology from the University of Vienna (Austria) and we organised an online exchange for our students. The exchange took place several times during the period of two semesters. The aim was to establish the opportunity for a language exchange and making friendships between students of the two universities.
