For the Hiroshima University open day (held in early November of each year), the programs based in the IDEC building host an IDEC/SmaSo open day to showcase the cultures, cuisines, and dancing skills. This event is a great opportunity for international students to interact with Japanese students from other parts of campus as well as the local people. Open Day 2023 was a success, with over 400 attendees.

The highlight of this event is the dance contest, where teams from the different countries and regions showcase their dance moves.
