Why not try the intercultural exchange that only the BRIDGE Challenge Trip can offer?
What is a Challenge Trip?
This program is aimed at Fukuoka children aged 5th grade to 3rd grade in high school, and challenges them to a homestay abroad for about a week. Each group of 18 people (15 children and 3 adult leaders) visits one country or region, and they can experience various different cultures through homestays, school visits, cultural exchanges, etc. The contact point for the country is a public institution with a long history of exchange as the contact point for APCC, and there are also several training sessions before traveling, so even those who are going abroad for the first time can participate with confidence. Not only can you make new friends abroad, but you can also deepen your friendships with fellow members who support each other while having fun together!
