Online Volunteer
Even if you are not in Japan, you can participate as an online volunteer.
Students of Yakushima Ohzora High School, their friends and family,
will be invited to participate of a communication space with foreigners,
where they can learn about various cultures, languages and ways of thinking.
We believe it will be an enjoyable experience
for people who want to know Japanese's people way of thinking and feeling,
and who want to contribute to society.
Online volunteer activities are free for both volunteers and participants.
There is no cost nor payment for those who choose to participate as online volunteers.
Online Class
You can participate in an online class of Yakushima Ohzora High School. During the class, you will be asked a number of questions prepared in advance and you will answer them in English (or Japanese). You may be asked unprepared questions by students, but that's also ok, as a Japanese teacher will be there to help you and coordinate the class.
One class lasts 50 minutes
International Exchange
you can participate of an online exchange with students of Yakushima Ohzora High School. Students will join as an extracurricular activity, and you will introduce your country and culture, answer any questions they may have and have a fun conversation with them (in English and/or Japanese).
Video Making
"Because of work and personal reasons, it is hard to participate in online activities on a fixed date."
For people in this situation, you can prepare a video introducing your country and indirectly participate in the class. If you don't want to show your face is also ok, just your voice in off is ok. Just by listening to you, students can learn more and get motivated to know other cultures.
Material Making
"It is a little embarrasing to talk in front of people."
In that case, you can create any material to introduce your own country; for example, through power points, and we will use it in the class. It is a good opportunity for Japanese students to know about your country.
