International Exchange Program

We believe one of the most important factors to live in this current global society is to accept the differences in values and perspective, and to find the way to coexist with others.

In order for children to know this, it is important to interact with and understand foreigners living in a different value system.

Therefore, at REALE WORLD, we provide events and workshops for the children to interact with foreign cultures as an opportunity to expand their perspective.

International Exchange Events and Lectures

We invite children and adults from overseas, such as athletes, artist and others who has a unique character and values, to provide an opportunity to interact with children in Japan.

We intend to make this opportunity to be as powerful as a paradigm shift moment for the children. Some examples are; hearing a story directly form a Tibetan refugee, or cooking a traditional Nepali food with a Nepali grandma.

Global Study Tour

The aim of global study tour is to plan and conduct an opportunity that reach beyond some regular cross-cultural experience.
