Recently, our company's activities were featured in a special article in the educational information magazine "Advanced Education." In this blog, we will introduce excerpts from the activities introduced in the article.

A global learning network connecting the online and real world

The article first introduces the online international exchange that is the core of the company's business, which is attended by approximately 67 people from 2 countries around the world each year. The article explains that the biggest feature of this is that it is not just English conversation, but a learning style that involves working with people of the same generation overseas, which fosters not only language skills, but also intercultural understanding and independence.

The program also introduces activities that create opportunities to connect online encounters to real overseas training, and focuses on the importance of mechanisms to deepen learning. The culmination of the activities is the "World Joint Presentation" sponsored by the United Nations.It also introduces an international competition in which participants will present, in English, solutions that can be implemented within five years.

Encounters across borders open new doors in life

The article also focuses on our new challenge of using the metaverse to support students who have not yet attended school. It covers a case that emerged from a collaborative project with Shinagawa Ward in which a student who had been unable to adapt to Japanese school was able to restart his life through international exchange. This suggests the great potential that cross-border encounters have for opening up students' lives.

Towards a future that connects Japanese education to the world and schools around the world

Finally, as the company's future outlook, the article talks about its vision of "expanding Japanese-style education overseas," with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "EDU-Port Japan" project in mind. To achieve this, the article also touches on the fact that the company has begun developing a platform that will directly connect schools around the world.

Finally

At With the World, students are involved in collaborative international exchange educational projects in a variety of ways, going beyond international exchange in English.
