Highlights

School-wide assembly
Children from Jimei Elementary School in New Taipei visited and began with a school-wide assembly in the gym.
Sunayama performs
A choir performance of "Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana" and a sixth-grade ensemble of "Time Paradox".
Jimei string ensemble
They played familiar pieces such as "Ponyo" and "Odoru Ponpokorin", and the audience sang and clapped along.
Classroom exchange and shared lunch
After the assembly, each class held exchange sessions and a shared school lunch. Even without a common language, the children tried hard to communicate through gestures.
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.

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.
