On February 21, 2026, the Choice Hotels Japan Company, a subsidiary of Greens Co., Ltd., will host an exciting multicultural exchange event for elementary school children, titled "Connecting with the World: A Journey of Multicultural Experiences! Let's embark on a voyage of global fun!" This event will offer an incredible opportunity for children to feel, firsthand, the breadth and diversity of the world while exploring various booths that represent different cultures.
The heart of the event emphasizes interaction and cultural education by inviting high school students who have roots in various countries. They will guide elementary school children through unique cultural games and activities, creating a fun learning environment that immerses kids in the cultural aspects of their respective countries. The direct communication between the high schoolers and the children will not only enrich the experience but also help children develop a global mindset and appreciation for diversity. This opportunity is designed to intrigue not only kids but also their parents!
In collaboration with recognized NPO Katari-ba, this event aims to cultivate children's dreams of traveling the globe while respecting and understanding differences in nationality, ethnicity, and culture. By fostering multilingual and multicultural skills among elementary students, we are paving the way for a more harmonious and inclusive society.
