An opening address

It was the first time for schoolchildren and teachers to have
an international education plogram like this.
All the members learnt by experience fruitfully.

Malaysia

Introduction of the national flag of Malaysia and Malaysian culture
The schoolchildren tried on a native costume and grinned.
They got excited to have an unexpected experience. “Wow! That’s great!”
Last of all, they sang together in chorus in Malaysian language.
It was an enjoyable education.

Korea

The neighboring country “Korea”
The lecturer gently introduced Korea to the schoolchildren.
“Wow! I want to go there.”
The lecturer gently told;
“In Korea, people write their own name like this.”
“I’d like you to study Japanese hard.”

Peru

Showing the map, the lecturer introduced Peru to the schoolchildren.
“Peru is in South America. The Andes runs in the country. We have a lot of World Heritage in our country.”
The schoolchildren have gotten interested in Peruvian native instrument, everything to listen and to look at. They want to know many things about Peru.

The United Kingdom (UK)

The lecturer explains the origin of the Union Jack (the national flag of UK).
Although the schoolchildren felt tense due to the first experience, they said “good bye” and tightly shook hands with the lecturer after the class.
It was a very friendly education.
