About IFF 2021
A note to our friends, neighbors, and supporters:
We are sad to announce that we have decided to cancel this year’s International Food Festival (IFF), scheduled for January 16th 2021, due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19.
Since 1965, Kyoto International Student House, Haus der Begegnung, has been dedicated to promoting international understanding by connecting our international residents with the surrounding community. IFF has always been a space where we are able to strengthen that connection to our community through sharing the home cuisines of our residents. However, as the health and safety of our residents and neighbors is our first priority, we do not feel that we are able to go ahead with the event without risk. We look forward to the coming months where hopefully we will be able to hold events like this once again.
Sincerely,
HdB
Calling New Residents for Spring 2021!
A community for Japanese and Foreign students / scholars
An introduction to HdB
An environment that bridges cultural differences to form a community that stretches around the globe. Living by the principles of “Life Together” and “Encounter”. 1/3 of all residents are Japanese, while the other 2/3 have different nationalities, with a maximum of 3 people per nationality. By living in this dormitory, you’ll go outside the “foreigner bubble”.
