Abstract
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the opportunity of local interaction has been significantly decreased and the place of activity was moved from in-person to online. In 2021, voluntary students from Akita International University organized two online events which aimed to convey Akitas regional food by welcoming participants from domestic and overseas. This paper reflects these events and explores the possibility of online community exchange activities. Although there should be a continuous update on ICT skills and knowledge, we conclude that facilitating “active interaction” is the utmost key in designing comfortable and satisfying online events.
