SCHOOL TOURS TO JAPAN
When studying a foreign language, visiting that country can be very beneficial in many ways, not only to study through immersion but also to increase interest among students. However, tours to Japan offer benefits beyond Japanese language. Children participating in educational travel are inspired by exposure to new people, cultures and experiences that can have positive effects across the learning curriculum. The journey can begin a long way before the departure and continue after, with involvement from all learning areas. Students mature personally and intellectually. Understanding of cultural and racial diversity helps prepare them to live and work in the growing global community.
Shoji Australia can assist schools to coordinate cultural tours to Japan. We have experience with both primary school and high school groups. We can offer different types of accommodation and home stay, flights, all transport in Japan (transport passes and coach), sightseeing itineraries (with maps, routes, educational notes, etc), day trips, bilingual guides as required, Japanese cultural activities and studies, meals, entry to events, etc. Educational tours can cater for all areas of interest from language, to artistic expression, to food, to Asian cultural studies. Shoji Australia can create an original itinerary for students and staff customized to provide for special interests and budgets.
Program coordination can also allow for meeting at the school to discuss a proposal, presenting at an information session with students and parents, conducting a pre-departure briefing with students and parents, an information booklet for students, and contact and facilitation of support during the trip to Japan.
