\nExperiencing the wonder of nature in Australia’s great outdoors will be of great benefit to the youth’s mental and physical welfare, and give them an opportunity to consider the importance of the environment and the great outdoors.<\/li>\n
\nThrough visiting local schools and staying with local families, the \u00a0youth will participate in cross-cultural exchange and language training. This will give them a chance to learn about alternative perspectives, and friends abroad. We hope this will equip them with creative, global imaginations, skills they can use in their future as leaders in the recovery of Japan and Fukushima.<\/li>\n
\nThe youth will learn about sustainable lifestyles from local NGOs and specialists in Melbourne. They will learn about Australia’s experience with the nuclear cycle including uranium mining and nuclear testing, as a chance to consider the relationship between nature, health and energy.<\/li>\n
\nAfter the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, Japan received a great deal of support from Australians. Many individuals donated and sent messages of support, and some even came all the way to Northeast Japan to volunteer. Sharing the experiences of the disaster in Japan will hopefully allow the rest of the world to learn and share.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Various local Australian individuals and organisations are cooperating to make this project a reality. Connecting the world and Fukushima, and the experiences brought back by the youth to Fukushima and Japan, will help to create hope and vitality for the future.<\/p>\n
