Students from Nagoya visited Geelong City

On 26 to 29 March, a delegation of 18 junior high school students from Nagoya visited Geelong City as part of the Wetlands Partnership Agreement between the two cities.

The students visited Serrendip Sanctuary, Breamlea beach and Jirrahlinga Wildlife Sanctuary to learn about migratory birds in the region and the natural environment. The students then visited Geelong City Hall and made presentations to the Mayor, Mr Bruce Harwood, on the ways to protect a Ramsar wetland in Nagoya named Fujimae Tidal Flats, and also introduced the local culture & food of Nagoya. They also visited the Marine and Freshwater Discovery Centre and Queenscliff Primary School. After the presentation, they, together with the local students, checked out Swan Bay Ramsar wetland, an important habitat for migratory birds. All the students tried their best to communicate in English with the Aussie students. They learned not only about the beauty of Australia, but also the Australian culture and way of life.

CLAIR Sydney helped organise the itinerary and provided information on possible places to visit. We will continue to support further exchanges between the two cities.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
