Suginami City Board of Education Visited CLAIR Sydney

On 20 Aug, a delegation from the Suginami City Board of Education visited the CLAIR Sydney office. The City of Suginami, Tokyo, organises an annual study abroad program as a part of its sister city exchange program with the Willoughby City Council. Every year, approximately 25 junior high school students from Suginami City are sent to Sydney with the aim to boost international awareness in the students, and to improve their English communication skills, both of which are increasingly important abilities to possess in the globalised world. The program includes a courtesy call on the Mayor of Willoughby, classes at a local school, homestay, and visits to Japanese companies in Sydney. CLAIR Sydney assisted the program by arranging appointments

with Japanese companies for the students to visit. At the CLAIR Sydney office, the Suginami City Board of Education expressed their gratitude, as well as their wish for continuous support for the study abroad program, to staff of CLAIR Sydney.

  • 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.
