On Thursday, 8 August, one high school student and one accompanying staff member from Ikeda City, Osaka, who visited Australia as part of a youth delegation program, visited the CLAIR Sydney office. Ikeda City conducts this program to help students learn about Launceston, Tasmania, their sister city, and to introduce Ikeda City as representatives of their hometown.
The CLAIR Sydney office provided a briefing on various aspects of Australia, including its culture and customs, and also shared information about Launceston. It was impressive to see the student and the accompanying staff actively asking questions with the purpose of maintaining and further developing the sister city relationship.
The CLAIR Sydney office will continue to support the activities of Japanese municipalities that nurture an international perspective in their students and promote sister city exchanges.
