Hi everyone,
I’m a high school teacher for Chemistry and Biology in Berlin, Germany, and I’m hoping to visit Japan (Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Tokio) with a colleague of mine in june/july of 2026.
We really would like to observe classes at a local school—ideally for one or two days. I’m particularly interested in schools that work in more challenging or underprivileged environments, but I’m open to all kinds of opportunities.
My goal is to gain insight into everyday school life in Japan, learn from different educational practices, and bring new ideas back to my own classroom. Unfortunately I only speak English and no japanese.
If you have any advice on:
- Schools that are open to hosting visitors,
- Organizations or programs that could help arrange this,
- Personal contacts I could reach out to,
…I’d really appreciate it!
Also, if anyone is interested in visiting a school in Berlin in return, I’d be more than happy to organize a visit to my school and show you what school life looks like here in Germany.
Thanks a lot and greetings from Berlin
✌️
