Sports Exchange (2024)
【Project Activities】
Conducted a sports exchange program with high school students from all over the world who were in Japan for short-term study at a Japanese language school.
【Project Background】
A request was received from Genki Japanese and Cultural School to organize sports exchange activities for international students during their stay in Japan.
【Project Objective】
To facilitate interaction between Japanese locals and high school students from around the world through sports.
【Project Area】
Education through sport
【Methods】
Event/Competition Support
【Outcomes】
Deep international exchange was achieved in a short period (about two hours) through the medium of sports.
【Voices from Participants and Partners】
“By competing for victory, a sense of unity was born that transcended national borders. It was a fun and successful exchange.”
【Challenges and Lessons Learned】
Because the event took place after school hours, the international students interacted very naturally. We hope to increase these kinds of opportunities.
