Tokai Affiliated High Schools visits Tokai University European Center on their 40th European Study Trip

On December the 20th last year (2024) we had the honor of welcoming visitors from Tokai Affiliated High Schools to our facilities here at Tokai University European Center.

Their visit was a part of their 40th European Study Trip, whose purpose was to have the students experience both Denmark and other parts of Europe for themselves, as way of learning about the origins of the philosophies on which the Tokai Educational System is built upon.

This 40th European Study Trip had been postponed since 2020 because of coronavirus and the war between Russia and Ukraine, making it an important turning point where more than 90 students in total participated.

During their visit here at Tokai University European Center, the students performed a flower offering in front of the commemorative stone for Tokai’s founder Dr. Shigeyoshi Matsumae, which is placed at our Centers Garden. After this the students were divided into two groups where each group took turns to receive a guided tour of the Centers Facilities done by Director Jakob Skyt Jensen. Simultaneously the groups also took turns in attending a lecture about the Centers history, role and connection to Tokai’s ideological roots, which was held by Director Dr. Manami Hori in the assembly hall.
​
Here at the Center, we enjoyed experiencing the presence of so many curious students that were eager to learn about Danish history and culture and its relation to the founding of Tokai. We hope that the visit offered some insight and inspiration and helped strengthening the important bonds between the students, the center, Denmark, Europe and other countries as well.
