This was followed by students from the faculty of Science and the faculty of Law and Letters, who presented about student life and poetic places in Ehime. After their presentations the students managed break-out rooms where lively discussions took place.

 On the final day of the program Professor Murakami Yasunori of the Science faculty treated the audience with Brain Evolution. While Professor Imaizumi Shinako of the faculty of Law and letters talked about translating sounds in Haiku.
The final session was an interactive poetry session lead by Researcher Ruth Vergin, Professor Imaizumi Shinako and Assistant Professor Adriana Hidding.
