From May 21 (Sun.) to 24 (Wed.), second-year students went on a study tour to Taiwan. The weather was mostly fine, and the program was very fulfilling for each student. The itinerary and program are as follows

May 21: Arrive in Taipei, visit Longshan Temple
May 22: Optional experience tour of the Zhongzheng Memorial Hall
May 23 Kaohsiung Course = School exchange (Kaohsiung Normal University High School), walking tour of Kaohsiung
May 23 Taipei Course = School exchange (Taipei Municipal Songshan Senior High School), Stroll in Jiufen and Jiufen
May 24: Tour of the National Palace Museum Return to Osaka

　During the school exchange visits to Kaohsiung Normal University Senior High School and Taipei City Songshan Senior High School, the students deepened their mutual exchange through the use of English.
　In particular, at Kaohsiung Normal University Senior High School, one of our partner schools and WWL's overseas partner school, the students presented their research projects to each other and had discussions about their future plans for international joint research. After returning to their home countries, students from both countries continued to exchange messages, making this a valuable experience for making friends overseas.
　In addition, during the optional study tour, the students were able to learn about gender issues in Taiwan, hear about various activities in Japan and Taiwan from business people, and rethink the history and culture of Taiwan and Japan during visits to various facilities.
　The study tour was planned by the travel committee members, who took the lead in the four-day, three-night program based on the bookmarks prepared by the students. The planned grade-level recreation was also highly accomplished, and the true essence of the 51st students was beautifully condensed into a study tour that will remain in the memories of their high school years.
