Yamanouchi Municipal Higashi Elementary School, Grade 6

The sixth graders at Yamanouchi Higashi Elementary School have participated in many local learning experiences over the years – from growing apples and cultivating Yukishiro-Mai rice to performing music on the kokarina, a local wooden instrument. As the culmination of their learning, they took on an Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) project under the theme “For Yamanouchi Town.” Their shared goal was to let more people know about the wonderful things Yamanouchi has to offer. This led to the planning and creation of a special project: a local stamp rally that highlights the charm of Yamanouchi.
