Promoting international understanding education and active learning in schools and communities
JICA offers various educational programs to help students from elementary to university levels and community members learn about the challenges faced by developing countries, understand our global connections, and take actions on global issues. Our goal is to inspire individuals to perceive global issues as personal matters, think critically about them, and take action. Discover ways to contribute to international cooperation through these experiences.
In addition to our "Visit Program," we offer the "International Cooperation Outreach Seminars," where JICA volunteers, staff, and overseas participants are dispatched to schools and other institutions as lecturers. We also provide the "International Cooperation Understanding Program," allowing high school, university, and graduate students to study international cooperation intensively. Additionally, we support teachers who wish to implement international understanding education in their schools through the "International Understanding Education Seminar" and the "Overseas Study Tour." Several times a year, we hold special events and exhibitions that local residents and young children can easily enjoy.
"I want to be a bridge between Japan and Samoa in the future"
We offer a program that combines exhibits where you can see, hear, and touch the realities of life in developing countries, understand global issues, and learn about actual international cooperation efforts. The program includes JICA Volunteer's activities and experiences in developing countries, as well as agricultural training facilities tours. This program is not only for international understanding education but also serves as a resource for career education and global human resource development. It can be utilized for school field trips, study tours, and teacher training sessions.
