The following is a list of the main types of events and programs that the ICC organizes. This list is not exhaustive however; new ideas for events from students that don't fit into these categories are often adopted.
Country Festival
A specific country or region's culture is introduced through a variety of events and activities.
Japanese Festival
Held twice a year in April and September to coincide with the arrival of new international students to Waseda, the Japanese Festival introduces Japanese culture from a variety of angles.
