What every batch includes
Dates and itineraries differ from batch to batch, but every batch shares the same core: from the school classroom to the council chamber and finally the concert-hall stage.
- 1
School exchange
Taiwanese students visit a Japanese school, join a school-wide assembly, perform for each other and exchange gifts.
- 2
Joining classes
Students split into classrooms and learn alongside Japanese children through music, games and simple language.
- 3
Break-time activities
Recess and lunch together — friendships form quickly even without a shared language.
- 4
Accompanied throughout
Officials of the local board of education accompany the group all day; in some batches the council chair and councillors also visit the school to assist.
- 5

Highlights
The orchestra performs at school
In the morning the Taiwanese youth orchestra performed on the school stage.
Assembly in the gymnasium
Japanese pupils sat in rows in the gym and listened to the Taiwanese orchestra.
Afternoon | City council visit
In the afternoon the students and parents visited the council chamber, arranged by the council, and took photos.
Evening | Concert at Wakayama Castle Hall
The Taiwanese and Japanese orchestras shared the stage at the Wakayama Castle Hall.
A busy hall
The audience filled the hall to witness the exchange concert.
Make your school the next batch
Each batch is a school whose children bring their own music into Japanese classrooms and onto a real stage.
A formal concert-hall performance
Beyond the classroom exchange, students take the stage of a concert hall in Wakayama and perform together with Japanese students.
Certificate of honour and official record
Students receive a certificate of honour and a souvenir at the city council, and the organising committee issues a participation certificate that records the performance and exchange.
One window for everything
The Lexuan Foundation co-organises and coordinates, from applications and documents to pre-departure preparation and liaison with the Japanese side.
- Needs
- School matching
- Classroom exchange
- Review
Places and schedules depend on the school year and the host schools in Japan. Feel free to ask first.
On the Taiwan side, the Lexuan Foundation co-organises and coordinates the programme as the administrative and communication window for Taiwanese schools — exchange applications, documents, pre-departure preparation and liaison with the board of education in Japan are handled in one place.
