GLOBAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM TO MEIKEI HIGH SCHOOL, JAPAN

🌏✈️ **Student Testimony: Science and Technology Immersion Trip to Meikei High School, Japan** πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅βœ¨

**By Mecca Kozarki from JC 2B and Raffaela Obordo from Secondary 3B**

*”The Science and Technology Immersion Trip to Meikei School in Japan from 29th June to 11th July 2024 was a life-changing experience for me. From the moment we arrived at Narita and settled into the dormitory, I knew we were in for an incredible journey.

Our days were filled with diverse activities. The campus tour and visit to the botanical garden were just the beginning. Learning Japanese and attending regular classes allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture and educational system. The welcoming party and club activities helped us bond with Meikei students, making us feel right at home.

One of the highlights was the tea ceremony, where we learned about Japanese traditions and the importance of mindfulness. Visiting Cyberdyne and the aquarium gave us insight into Japan’s advancements in technology and marine biology.

Our trip to Waseda University and ICU, and staying in Tokyo, was inspiring. Exploring teamLab and Miraikan Science Museum expanded our understanding of interactive art and scientific innovation. Spending a day with our host families was heartwarming and showed us the warmth of Japanese hospitality.

At Tsukuba University, we delved deeper into our academic interests, while visits to JAXA and the Geology Museum were awe-inspiring. Participating in Japan Red Cross activities was a humbling experience, reminding us of the importance of community service.

The Japanese calligraphy session on our last day at Meikei was a perfect way to conclude our trip, reflecting on the beauty of Japanese culture. Our farewell was emotional, but we left with lifelong memories and friendships.
