On November 13th, after being treated to delicious oranges at the farm of Mr. Shinobu Yamanaka, who has supported ARI across three generations, participants departed Hamamatsu and headed for Aino High School in Mie Prefecture.
At that night, participants had a good time talking with Aino HS students. Along with a world map, they talked about their countries, what they like, and so on. Although, it was an optional for Aino HS students, many students joined this round table discussion.

The next day’s main program began with fellowship – singing, dancing, and some games to officially start the program. During the discussion time that followed, participants facilitated discussions using the PLA idea of the 3 P-s in society (power, prestige, property). They discussed which roles and occupations, such as pastors, teachers, and farmers, possess what “P”. They could hear stories of how different some roles are in Japan and in participants’ countries.

After lunch, they spent some time enjoying various sports. The program was closed by a warm message from the principal. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day.
