・It was a great experience to share things I love and help my partner classmates learn about Japanese culture. （male, National Institute of Technology, Hakodate College） I also learned about a wide variety of cultures and ways of thinking because the United States is a diverse country. ・I was able to learn about American customs that are not common in Japan. This connects the students on a tangible level and this project becomes one of the most memorable moments for them.
In Omiyage Exchange, a small gift exchange with the partner school, students who have been engaging with each other online receive an Omiyage that their partner classmates carefully selected. The students also increased their understanding and awareness of their own culture by sharing things about their daily lives and culture, and answering questions using photos.
Through engaging with people their own age, they began to feel more connected to their partner country and culture. Even the students who were not very interested in other countries initially began to enjoy finding out about other cultures.
