HIROSHIMA JAPAN - CULTURAL EXCHANGE
Pasadena Intermediate and Nagisa Hiroshima Junior High School have been involved in annual student exchanges for 25 years. Past exchanges have proved to be fantastic learning experiences for the students who have participated, many making lifelong friends. Students on this exchange will stay in a hotel during a stopover in Tokyo and will be hosted by a Japanese student’s family in Hiroshima, having the opportunity to genuinely experience Japanese culture and hospitality. Later in the year, Pasadena will host students from Nagisa Hiroshima Senior and Junior High School where they will experience a similar exchange here, staying with our students. Activities include:
- Tokyo for 2 nights where we go to Disneyland and Tokyo Tower
- Exchange with Nagisa Junior High School in Hiroshima where students stay with their host family. During this stay they will attend their host student’s class and participate in PE, Music, Science, Art, Maths and English lessons, attend Japanese classes such as Flower Arranging and participate in excursions to places of interest in the region of Hiroshima
The Japan Cultural Exchange will take place in June/July 2024.
