Regarding March 11, 2011 Japanese Earthquake

Thomas Greve — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 13:40:08 +0000

March 12, 2011

Dear Friends of World Campus International,

The shocking earthquake hitting the north-east part of Japan has caused massive destruction to the region. Currently, the Japanese national and local governments are working to assess the degree of damage.

Though there are areas of Japan that have been severely affected, all of our partner communities seem to have avoided tragedy. Currently, we do plan to facilitate the World Campus – Japan program from June 23 thru August 30.

Because the damages are reported in the northern region of Japan, and our community partners are located in central to western Japan, we are confident that our summer program will not be affected by the earthquake.

We have already contacted several community partners who are hosting our summer program and confirmed that they are OK and not severely or at all affected by these tragic events. We will continue to reach out to the rest of our community partners and communicate to you via this website any updated information.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hiro Nishimura
Chairman and CEO
World Campus International, Inc.

World Campus – Japan Presentation in the Hanseatic City of Rostock / Germany in January 2010

Thomas Greve — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:10:12 +0000

We are proud to announce a World Campus – Japan presentation in the Hanseatic City of Rostock / Germany. Please read the details in the German press release:

Junge Menschen ab 17 Jahren haben auch dieses Jahr wieder die Möglichkeit mit World Campus International (worldcampus.org) nach Japan zu reisen.

In jedem Programm werden mindestens zwei der folgenden Städte besucht: Abiko City (Präfektur Chiba), Arao City (Kumamoto), Hiroshima City (Hiroshima), Kumamoto City (Kumamoto), Mito City (Ibaraki), Omura City (Nagasaki), Tama City (Tokyo), Toride City (Ibaraki), Toyota City (Aichi), Uda City (Nara) und Ueda City (Nagano).

Die Unterbringung erfolgt in Gastfamilien. Die Teilnehmer entdecken Japan auf eine besondere, einzigartige Art und Weise. Sie lernen auf Community Service basierenden Studienplänen mehr über Japan und die Welt kennen. So treffen sie beispielsweise in den Städten Nagasaki und Hiroshima auf Überlebende der Atombombenangriffe, besichtigen in Uda einen buddhistischen Tempel und sehen einen Schwertmacher beim Schwertschmieden zu oder informieren sich in Kumamoto über Japans erste und einzigste Babyklappe „Storks Cradle“. Kontakte zu japanischen Schülern und Studenten, Arbeitern, Geschäftsleuten, Wissenschaftlern und Politikern werden geknüpft. In gemeinsamen Diskussionsrunden, Podiumsgesprächen, Sport- und Freizeitaktivitäten erfahren die Teilnehmer mehr über die Kulturen und Belange der Mitreisenden aus aller Welt und ihrer japanischen Gastgeber. Basis für die Verständigung untereinander ist Konversationsenglisch.

Für den Sommer 2010 sind fünf Programme zu folgenden Daten geplant: 5. Juni bis 19. Juni, 23. Juni bis 7. Juli, 11. Juli bis 25. Juli, 29. Juli bis 12. August und 16. August bis 30. August.

Eine Informationsveranstaltung findet am Donnerstag, dem 28.01.2010 um 16:00 Uhr im Café „Ku 77“ im Rostocker Freizeitzentrum e.V., Kuphalstaße 77, 18069 Rostock statt.
