Buting Elementary School takes a day of Japanese cultural exploration

On Dec. 13, 2023, the Japan Information and Culture Center (JICC) welcomed students from Buting Elementary School for a special Hello! Japan session. The lively Grades 5 and 6 students embarked on a journey into the wonders of Japanese culture. The students got a premium pass to all things Japanese culture as they engaged in a vibrant session. From the folding art of origami to playing Japanese toys like the Kendama, the day was a blend of learning and fun.

Conducted by the Japan Information and Culture Center (JICC), Hello! Japan provides educational discourse for elementary, high school, college students and private organizations.
