<Impressions of participants>
Thank you very much for your hard work on yesterday's online tour.I have a strong image of Syria, including the Assad regime, civil war, war, conflict, poverty, and refugees. However, I was able to get a very good image of Syria through the lively and cheerful expressions of Syrian kindergarten students in their daily lives and through online exchanges with local university students.In Japanese news, only the dark parts of Syria are broadcast, so we Japanese do not have a good image of Syria.Through this online tour, I was able to learn deeply about Syria, [a country of life, culture, tourism, food culture, and hospitality]. I think it's good.Lastly, I would like to thank the staff of this online tour, the Syrian kindergarten students, the Syrian university students, and Mr. Nakano.
Through this online tour, I was able to see how Syrian children live, and had a very valuable experience of talking with local university students about their dreams.I was able to get rid of the image I had of Syria from the beginning, and now have an image of a country I would like to visit, something that my previous self would never have thought of.However, the current situation in Syria is that the school enrollment rate of children has dropped to 6% at one point due to the war, and even now half of the children are not able to go to school. I was able to ponder something.Thanks to the valuable experience of interacting with local kindergarten students and university students, I gained new knowledge about one country, Syria, and participated in more volunteer activities and fund-raising activities. I was able to strengthen my desire to help many Syrian children and people and children suffering in other poor areas. We are here.Thank you very much for giving me such a precious opportunity.
Through this Syria online study tour, we received many impressions that the image of Syria has changed greatly!Many people said that they would like to make use of it in the future, and I think it was a very educational online study tour.
We will continue to plan and hold many programs like this in the future, so if you are interested, please check our SNS!
