The kids had an opportunity to visit the Kobe Center for Overseas Migration and Cultural Interaction. They learned about why Japanese people immigrated to South America and they lived once upon arrival. Since our unit is about cultural exchange, they discussed the impact that the Japanese had on places in Latin America and vice versa.
