A week-so short yet so filled with activity. The students of the University of Hawaii at Hilo and at Manoa spent the week with our GP students exploring the city and learning about each other and their culture. In this workshop, the students separated into 3 teams- Team Hilo, Team Manoa, and Team GP to reflect on the cultural discoveries they made. It was a moving workshop with laughter and tears, indicative of how strong a bond was created in such a short time. We have all become long lasting friends and it is our hope that this will lead to a deeper connection between our schools and our students.

Student Cross-cultural Reflection Presentation Workshop

The three groups spoke on "what we have learned"- their cross-cultural discoveries during the week. For many of the University of Hawaii students, this was their first experience abroad. Seeing Japan and Nagoya through the University of Hawaii students' eyes allowed us to see cultural differences that were surprising to us all. More than the differences, however, we learned what was the same and those points of commonality created a bond that will surely develop into deep and long lasting friendships between the students, the schools, and hopefully our nations.
