]]>The first activity saw the students get their hands dirty on two different environmental projects - 10 students planted vegetables at the Saffron Acres Community Allotment Project, whilst the other 9 helped the Riverside Rangers with a habitat project.
The next stop on their busy schedule, the following week, was to teach Origami and Japanese writing at two local Age UK day care centres. The students were very warmly welcomed and patiently taught their skills to the day care centre users who were extremely grateful to them for sharing their expertise and enjoyed learning about Japanese culture.
The following week, the Japanese students had a taste of classroom life at two local schools Sparkenhoe and St Thomas More Catholic Primary Schools. Armed with supplies, the exchange students showed 210 young children how to play Japanese games, taught them about Japanese culture and how to make origami. The pupils soon mastered the art of creating origami dogs, hearts, ducks, cranes and paper planes!
All those involved had a fantastic time and it was a great chance to not only host the Japanese students but also for them to engage with the local community alongside Leicester students. “The students very much enjoyed the volunteering activities, in particular the school visits, which provided them with the opportunity to communicate with local people as well as other University students. This meant that they had the chance to practice their spoken English, as well as being able to contribute to the local community.” – Clare Mytton, International Officer. The exchange visit was organised by the International Office as part of the British Study Programme and the volunteering activities were organised by the Career Development Service’s Volunteering Team.
