On Tuesday, a five-member delegation from Japan visited ASH Berlin. The group led by Professor Shuji Ikuta, Head of the Faculty of Education at Nara University of Education, was interested in an exchange with representatives of Faculty I - Social Work and the International Office of ASH Berlin.

Irene Gropp, Head of the International Office, introduced ASH Berlin to the visitors and pointed out the university's long history and special features. Together with Anne Hübinger, she also presented the COIL - Collaborative Online International Learning project and answered questions about international exchange.
