Throughout the month of August, Consul General Yo Osumi and Consulate staff took part in the Japan Day and Regional Japan Days, hosted by the Stanford Program for International and Cross-Cultural Education (SPICE). Japan Day and Regional Japan Days featured award ceremonies, where Japanese and American high school students, who participated in SPICE’s online learning programs, are recognized for their outstanding performance in their online classes, that cover topics ranging from U.S.-Japan history to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
