The following articles are recommended reading for anyone considering travel to Japan through the Alaska 4-H Exchange Program. 4-H'ers pursuing a global citizenship project can also benefit from reading these articles as they consider what lessons can be learned about culture, customs and languages in other states, regions and nations; and how to best represent their own culture to others in their own community, state and abroad.
Thanks to Alaska 4-H volunteer Jill Holmgren for her dedication to this program, and for her hours of service in compiling this information for distribution.
