Autumn is here\u2014and so is <\/span>Undokai!<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Undokai<\/span><\/i>, a Japanese school sports day, is a major highlight of the school year, often held in autumn. Teamwork is at its heart: students practice together and prepare cheers ahead of the big day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019re bringing this tradition to Waseda, where students from diverse backgrounds come together. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll join one of five teams (<\/span>\u56e3,dan<\/span>),\u00a0<\/span>each represented by a different color, and take on a variety of activities as the teams fill the venue with color.
\n<\/span>Get moving, cheer each other on, and share the fun across languages and cultures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will also be plenty of time to <\/span>chat with<\/span> your teammates <\/span>over flag-making and lunch.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What matters most isn\u2019t winning or losing but<\/span>\u00a0coming together as a team and getting to know one another.<\/strong><\/span>
\nYou don\u2019t have to be good at sports\u2014just come and have fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Come meet new teammates\u2014and leave with new friends.<\/span>
\nLet\u2019s make some special memories together!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
