From Sunday, March 11 to Saturday, March 24, Kaho Koide (3rd year in the Department of Architecture), a student of our school, visited Derbyshire, England as part of the Toyota City Sister City Dispatch Project. I spent two weeks with a homestay for the whole night, going to a local school and going sightseeing in Oxford and other places.
~From Mr. Koide’s impression~
“One thing I’ve realized when I learn about a culture I didn’t know is that I need to have the ability to think about which culture is best suited to the culture I know, depending on the situation I’m in. It was a very moving two weeks, with encounters with students chasing their dreams, and a lot of inspiration from British architecture and culture.”
In a homestay, you can not only learn a language, but also gain various knowledge and experience through learning a language. Why don’t you take advantage of your long vacation and participate in such overseas dispatch programs?
