TalkMates: an international exchange club at Doshisha University!

TalkMates is an international exchange club comprised of approximately 200 students from Doshisha University and Doshisha Women’s University.
Last year, about 100 international students were members. The club aims to create opportunities for international exchange even while at Doshisha University, through events such as Kyoto sightseeing tours, pizza parties, and language exchange sessions. It is
a club where members can be exposed to various languages, including English, Korean, and Chinese, through its events.
