# Effects and the Problems
Effects your students have gained
The studens knew a lot of places named human
heritage by UNESCO, many of that places are
unknowed for them. They do the research to choose
the images for draw, and they knew a little bit of thercultural heritage. Also, we learn about the cultural
heritage of Japan. The student was so happy, it was agreat experience for them and for the entire school.

Points for further improvement
We really like to participate in this international
project, it was our 3rd time, but it’s our firs with thisschool. We work with a different group of students,
and their really happy and excited to participate.
We have some difficult in the video conferences,because the internet connection. The language it
was a challenge too. But all the experience wasincredible.

# How has your impression toward your partner country and/or the world changed?

Change in teacher’s impression
The students had a great experience with this job, This was a different work with the students, so the
because they never work like that, with students in form to work was different, more closer whit themanother country, with different ideas and customs.
