Support Activities for Oyama City in Tochigi Prefecture: High School Students (23 July)

On July 23, we conducted an online presentation to 22 high school students from year 9 and 4 of their teachers in Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, discussing various aspects of Australian culture, customs, and the relationship between Australia and Japan. The students and teachers visited Cairns, a sister city of Oyama City, at the end of August as a delegation.

Since it will be the first trip to Australia for all the participating students, they asked questions about differences in daily life such as food and living costs, as well as the differences between the English they study at school and the actual English spoken in Australia. Their enthusiasm and concerns about their upcoming visit to Cairns left a strong impression on us.

We also assisted in arranging an appointment for the delegation to visit the Consular Office of Japan in Cairns as part of our support services. We are committed to continually supporting the activities of local governments in Japan that aim to strengthen sister city relationships with Australia.

  • 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.
