If you are interested in visiting Japan to broaden your horizons, make new friends and see new sights, you should check out the Red Wing Sister Cities Commission website.
You’ll find more info about this annual student exchange and be able to fill out an application at red-wing.org and search Ikata Exchange Program.
Along with a chaperone, you’ll travel to Tokyo, Kyoto, Hiroshima and finally to our sister city Ikata, where you’ll stay with a host family. After two weeks in Japan, you will welcome the Japanese students into your home for 8-9 days.
The program is open to students in grades 8-11 and up to six students are selected. Students will fundraise for this trip, with guidance from the commission.
Applications are due Friday, December 6.
The Sister Cities Commission will hold a parent informational meeting 7 p.m. Thursday, November 21, at United Lutheran Church, 628 W. Fifth Street in Red Wing.
