The project aims to foster cultural exchange through engaging workshops on Japanese culture with a group of young Japanese participants. These workshops will be held in schools, residential facilities and eldery houses, and various community spaces, providing an opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in the rich heritage and traditions of Japan.
The initiative seeks to bridge cultural divides and promote mutual understanding by showcasing aspects of Japanese culture such as traditional arts, cuisine and language. Through
interactive sessions, participants will have the chance to learn even basic phrases in Japanese.
The workshops will not only serve as educational experiences but also as platforms for dialogue and cross-cultural interaction. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions, share their own cultural perspectives, and engage in meaningful exchanges with the Japanese group. Moreover, the project will emphasize inclusivity and accessibility by targeting diverse audiences, including students of all ages, residents of care homes, and members of community organizations. The initiative aims to promote cultural appreciation and tolerance among people from different backgrounds.
Overall, the project objective is to foster lasting connections and promote global citizenship by celebrating the diversity of human culture while highlighting the common threads that unite us all. Through the shared experience of learning about Japanese culture, participants will gain valuable insights into the importance of cultural diversity and the beauty of cross-cultural exchange.
Last but not least, the Japanese group will concentrate in the Town of Pego working together with the Youth Centre. Still there might be the opportunity to travel to some towns in Valencia were the DANA effects left these towns in a critical situation. It might be also possible to rebuild the apiary that De Amicitia has in the area or any other activity useful for the development of the municipality that is proposed by the local Civil Society.
