A Visit to Hiroshima with the Department of Education

10/27/2023

HGEF took students and teachers from Hawaii on a trip to Japan on August 28th, 2023.

On this one week trip we went to Hiroshima and Fukuoka, where students visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Hiroshima public schools.  Students had fun and meaningful exchanges with the local Japanese students through games and Japanese calligraphy lessons.

These videos are records of their experiences in Japan, made by two of the middle school students with support from their teachers:

HGEF supported the Hawaii Department of Education travel in interpretation and translation in pre-production  and on-site coordination services.

It was a wonderful opportunity!
