Message

The children who take part in this program understand each other. We feel that we live inthe different country but same earth. By drawing each country side, we have those who
see this picture think about “Understanding each other”.

United thoughts toshare with the world# Effects and Problems
Effects your students have gainedSome students had come to be interested inJapanese cultures and They had wanted to learn
Japanese languages. I felt that they would want totalk with Japanese students more, and somestudents said “we want to meet them on face toface.”

Points for further improvement
1. In that case those who take part in was girls. So
next time I’ll approach to boys in my school.
2. I should have prepared the draft of questions for
those who talked with Japanese students in theSkype, If it is, they are going to be interested inJapan more.
