ABOUT US
Our organization is comprised of university students who share a common interest in exploring and gaining insight into the diverse cultures and countries of the Asian continent. While our organization was initially formed exclusively by students pursuing the International Relations degree, we have since expanded to include members from a range of academic backgrounds. We accept new members from all degree programs.
We facilitate comprehension of the entire Asian continent, a crucial aspect of international relations. Given the continent’s growing cultural and artistic relevance in recent years, we engage in activities that encompass the full spectrum of possibilities. This partnership facilitates intercultural dialog and communication among students, enhancing their ability to interact with diverse societies.
WHO WE ARE
We are a society of university students who share curiosity and interest in discovering and understanding the Asian continent. We were initially formed, exclusively, by students of the Degree in International Relations, but we are glad to say that this issue has changed, and now we are a multidisciplinary society, that welcome new students from any degree program.
We believe that mutual understanding is indispensable part of international relations. Given the growing importance of the entire Asian continent, both culturally and artistically, we engage in a series of activities offering possibilities for greater knowledge and understanding. The Asian Studies Society promotes intercultural dialogue and communication among students to enrich their knowledge and develop their skills while fostering interaction between societies.
