Jingumae International Exchange School (JIES) had “International Children’s Day” on April 20. Students, parents, international community members, and embassies worked collaboratively to promote international awareness and develop a curiosity about the world through a wide variety of activities. Participants also enjoyed guest singer, Ayako Ikeda, and dance performances from JIES and Jinsho students.
There was a wide range of visitors (more than 400 people) representing many different countries, as well as visitors from the local community.
Each class was responsible for an individual country. Students searched for information, organized games and activities specific to their countries, and decorated their classrooms in cooperation with parents and embassies. Kids also had a chance to win amazing prizes from different countries during the raffle. The students, after visiting the booths of a number of countries, had Turkish ice cream.
Guests and visitors enjoyed the different countries’ booths, the Turkish ice cream, a delicious bake sale, and prizes from the raffle. They all appreciated the endeavours of the JIES community and expressed their sincere gratitude to everyone for their diligent hard work. — KENAN ULU
