Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This book charts the path taken towards creating a meaningful study abroad programme, at Kanazawa Seiryo University, in Ishikawa, Japan. The choices and decisions taken on the way to creating the "European Spring Study Abroad Programme" for Spring 2014 are laid out, culminating in a English language study trip to Canterbury in the UK, and Cork in Ireland. The information given here will help to guide a wider range of programmes in the future. Aside from the "standard" language education, such programmes will include school, university and company visits, presentations to city officials, and even internships. This puts an onus on the students themselves to stand up and make themselves heard, rather than being passive tourists. The book shows the creation of a programme that does not just export Japanese students to English language courses abroad, but gets those students to become stakeholders in their own education ... a programme that gives learning a purpose.
