New Xu Fu Voyage East / 新徐福東渡 / Japan 🇯🇵 Two school visits 👍🙃
We had a fun day visting the Sacred Heart Ursula Middle School and Shogakukan Junior & Senior High School, 70 and 80 students respectively.
We had very good exchanges, particularly at the second school where the students were a bit older. Giving away T-shirts in exchange for good questions was a winner 😂🤣
Xu Fu is credited with having brought many useful things to Japan back in the day, so we have been asking ourselves what the New Xu Fu Voyage East can bring to Japan to pay homage to Xu Fu's legacy.
We figure the most useful thing Xu Fu would have been able to bring nowadays would be environmental awareness about the oceans and provide students with a toolkit enabling them to so something positive for the waters around Japan.
We have therefore partnered with UWC Alumni founded UK NGO Atlantic Pacific: Lifeboats where there are none, who offers a residential spring camp in Japan focused on inshore lifesaving and UNs' Sustainable Development Goal 14 "Life below water". It is a five days, four nights residential course.
Sun Haibin and I are underwriting two full Xu Fu environmental scholarships, targeted at students aged 13-18. We hope to get lots more applicants for the scholarships tomorrow. Part of the application process later this year will be writing an essay about Xu Fu and his significance in Japan. Clever, eh, for ensuring students will want to learn more about Xu Fu😉🤞
If you would like to help more Japanese students get a climate action tool kit, please make a donation towards Xu Fu environmental scholarships.
