5月に、本校の姉妹校協定校である台湾・高雄市の国立鳳山商工高等学校（正式名称：國立鳳山高級商工職業學校）の生徒・教職員の皆様が来日します。
今回の来日にあわせて、両校の生徒による文化交流と、日本・台湾の生徒が協働して取り組んできた国際支援活動の報告会を開催します。
現在、本校の生徒たちは、台湾の皆様を迎えるため、交流プログラムの検討、発表資料の作成、会場準備、当日の進行や役割分担の確認に取り組んでいます。相手の文化や学校生活を尊重し、互いに安心して対話できる交流となるよう、生徒同士で意見を出し合いながら準備を進めています。
本事業では、日本と台湾の生徒がオンライン交流や共同学習を重ね、カンボジアの教育課題、中東地域の難民問題、フェアトレード、国際協力などについて学んできました。社会課題について知るだけで終わるのではなく、現地の方々、国際機関、NGOなどの声に学び、自分たちにできることを考え、国際支援や発信などの具体的な行動へとつなげることを大切にしています。
報告会では、これまでの活動成果に加え、日本と台湾の生徒が国や文化の違いを越え、どのように対話し、協働してきたのかを共有します。
姉妹校との交流を通して、異なる文化を尊重する姿勢と、共通する社会課題に協力して向き合う力を育むことを目指し、生徒を中心に準備を進めています。

Preparing to Welcome Our Sister School from Taiwan
In May, students and teachers from National Fengshan Senior Commercial & Industrial Vocational School in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, our sister school, will visit Japan and Ichimura Senior High School.
During their visit, students from both schools will participate in cultural exchange activities and hold a presentation session on the international support initiatives that they have undertaken collaboratively.
In preparation for the visit, our students are discussing the exchange programme, preparing presentation materials and the venue, and confirming their respective roles for the day. They are working together to create an environment in which students from both schools can communicate comfortably, while respecting one another’s cultures, values, and school traditions.
Through this project, students in Japan and Taiwan have participated in online exchanges and collaborative learning on global issues, including educational challenges in Cambodia, refugee-related issues in the Middle East, fair trade, and international cooperation.
The project places importance not only on learning about global challenges, but also on listening to the voices of people in the affected communities, international organisations, NGOs, and other partners. Based on what they have learned, the students consider what they can do and connect their learning to concrete actions, including international support activities and public awareness initiatives.
At the presentation session, the students will share not only the outcomes of their activities, but also the process through which students from Japan and Taiwan have engaged in dialogue, respected different perspectives, and worked collaboratively across national and cultural boundaries.
Through this sister-school exchange, we hope to deepen mutual understanding and friendship between the two schools. We will continue our student-led preparations so that this visit will provide a meaningful opportunity for students to learn from one another and work together to address shared global challenges.
