On the day of the event, 17 elementary school students who are members of “Choice Guest Club(TM)” participated with their guardians. The event was held at TKP Tamachi Ekimae Conference Center from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participants visited a total of four booths representing three countries—Philippines, China, and Nepal—and experienced each country’s culture and traditional games. Through interaction with high school students of diverse backgrounds, participants were provided with opportunities to engage with different cultures and values.
The activities included traditional Chinese play “Dadanju,” a rubber band game from Nepal called “Chungi,” as well as Filipino hand games and a physical activity known as “Pabitin.” Participants moved between booths, communicating with facilitators and learning about cultural differences through play. Through these experiences, the children were able to feel the joy of travel while deepening their understanding of multicultural perspectives.
