A total of 28 Japanese high school students participated in this round, gaining a deep understanding of Thai culture and contemporary social topics while building global connections right from home.

Program Overview & Highlights

Day 1: Interactive Peer Exchange & Cultural Discovery

On Day 1, participants were joined by 10 local Thai friends for dynamic exchange sessions! Divided into small breakout groups, Japanese students practiced everyday English in a warm, welcoming setting. They exchanged perspectives on youth culture, lifestyle, and student life in Thailand, forming genuine cross-border friendships.

The session concluded with reflection activities that allowed participants to consolidate what they learned and articulate their global perspectives.
