Kumon recently hosted a lecture as part of its annual "International Understanding" event, featuring guest speaker Kateryna Novitska, a Ukrainian director at Japan's national broadcaster NHK.

Her 70-minute presentation focused on "How do we define a country?" and "What happens when there is no peace?" Students were highly engaged during the Q&A session, posing many thought-provoking questions that impressed Ms. Novitska. Some questions were deferred to a later time due to time constraints.

The high level of interest among the students in international issues and peace was clearly evident.
