Finally

After returning home, the follow-up training will provide participants with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of themselves through self-reflection and dialogue, and to think about their future direction.

This hybrid training, which combines the advantages of online and offline, is the perfect way for students to learn more about a particular topic or country! By clarifying your research topic and what you want to learn in advance while interacting with local students, you can maximize your learning on-site.Additionally, being on-site will enable you to do fieldwork that will allow you to notice things that you cannot learn through videos or conversations alone, and it will give you new perspectives.

The above hybrid classes are organized and planned by our company, With The World. We will support you from pre-training to post-training. We will also adjust the content of the classes to meet your needs, such as PBL classes and intercultural exchange, according to the curriculum!
