NHK's documentary program "Document 20 min." (General, Sunday 12:00 pm) will be broadcasting a collaboration project titled "72 Days in a Multinational Student Dormitory" on June 8th, which looks at the same setting as the NHK's "Document 72 Hours" but on a different timeline.
The setting is a super global university located on a hill overlooking the steaming hot springs of Beppu City, Oita Prefecture. We follow the students from 94 countries and regions living in a multicultural dormitory.
They are all different ages, cultures, and languages. They clash and misunderstand each other at times, but what are the secrets of communication that young people can see from their efforts to deepen their mutual understanding? They also share tips for surviving in an age of diversification. The program is narrated by actress Rikako Yagi.
