i2i Cultural Exchange with Sendai, Japan

One of our cinema class activities has been to create a virtual cultural exchange through video clips with kids in Sendai, Japan with the help of  former volunteer, Alexis Torres.

The clips give the kids a chance to express their ideas of Brazilian culture  and show other kids from other parts of the world what it is like for them living in Rio. Through the exchange with the kids in Japan, our kids are able to learn not only about Japanese culture, but also identify the special things that make up their own culture.

Here are 2 of the clips…
