The main goal is to promote the hidden history and culture of the islands from an international perspective. To achieve this, our partner will organize a Glocal (global-local) Island School Project with local students. As part of this program, our partner will hold lectures on the islands, share ideas about island life, and introduce participants diverse traditions and cultures to local youth through experiential education. Participants will engage students in games, share cooking recipes, showcase traditional clothing, and demonstrate dances and songs from their home countries. Through these activities, island youth will enhance their global competence and develop a sense of pride in island life. Additionally, volunteers will assist socially disadvantaged local residents by delivering meals and helping elderly individuals with household chores such as home repairs and maintenance. During this process, they will listen to their stories, share their own values, and invite them to share international cuisine with them. Finally, volunteers will host an island promotion competition to showcase the unique values and international aspects of the islands through creative projects and social media posts. Through these experiences, our partner hopes that the volunteers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in diverse cultures, experience real island life, and build meaningful connections with local residents.
