Message

We knew about Osaka castle, which is a historical and tourists sight.
We drew our beautiful nature, children who are friends and connected two artworks withhand-prints.

# Effects and the Problems
Effects your students have gainedStudents made a research about our culture andnature.
They understood the importance of the project when
they saw how many countries participated in theproject. And it started 10 years ago. Also, we learned
about Japanese culture. We had a great experience

Points for further improvement
At the beginning we didn’t fully understand the ideaof the project. We didn’t use the forum effectivelyfor communication. Thanks to JAM who directed us
to a right way. And if we decide to participate in theproject again it’s better to write teacher’s personal
address. There won’t be any additional payments.
