More and more Japanese high schools are taking school trips to Taiwan. And in recent years, an exchange with a Taiwanese school has become a highlight of that kind of program. Teachers say that an exchange across national borders can broaden students’ worldviews and help them see their own education in a new light. FTV dropped in on one such exchange in Taipei to find out more.
When Japanese high school students come for a school trip to Taiwan, an unmissable part of the schedule has to be visiting a Taiwanese school.

Taiwanese students are very nice. The exchange conference was run very smoothly and I feel very lucky.

All the students here are lovely and easy to talk to. We became friends immediately. The information they presented to us was interesting. I could see the differences between the facilities here and at a Japanese school, for example. I found that very appealing.
Here, students from Taipei Municipal Dazhi High School show Japanese students around their campus and introduce them to Taiwanese culture.
In recent years, more and more Japanese high schools are conducting overseas school trips to Taiwan. In 2019, Japanese people made 2.17 million trips to Taiwan. Sixty thousand of those visitors were on high school trips.

What a vocational school focuses on is experiential learning. We want to enable students to learn through many different types of classes. The main goal of educational travel is a classroom exchange. We hope to change our classes to help lots of our students understand more about what Japanese students study. We can look at the differences that we have between us, and dedicate ourselves to progress.

Travel agency CEO
It’s about developing international talent and an international worldview. That satisfies the Japanese needs for international exchange. As much as possible, we try to achieve a win-win for both parties.
International exchanges like this will lay the foundations for lifelong friendships between Taiwanese and Japanese students, broadening their horizons and building bridges of understanding over national borders.
