The Kai Yama Program represents an educational, cultural, and intellectual exchange from the oceans of Hawai‘i (Kai) to the mountains of Japan (Yama). The Kai Yama project is a collaborative partnership between University of Hawaii, Kapi‘olani Community College, Oahu, HI and Kansai University, Takatsuki Campus in Osaka, Japan.
Over the year-long program, students from both countries will communicate collaboratively as they investigate both local and global environmental issues. During two 10-day country exchanges, students will actively participate in the community issue through the lens of place-based and culture-based active learning.
The objective of this international student exchange is to engage future leaders by connecting ecology and environmental science to local community conservation issues. Collaborative online technologies will allow participants to build relationships, identify commonalities, and generate new solutions to ecological issues.
