2020 Student Delegation
Tulsa-Area Families,
Would you be interested in hosting a 14-year-old, Japanese student or one of their adult chaperones from March 25-30th 2020?
This 5-day homestay program is designed to accommodate families that have a M-F, 8-5pm lifestyle, and it’s a perfect opportunity to experience hosting without a lengthy commitment.
As a part of Tulsa Global Alliance, the Tulsa-Utsunomiya Sister City Partnership facilitates a number of activities including a short Study Abroad program for Japanese students, and we're always happy to welcome new host families!
Here's what our committee has planned:
Wednesday, March 25th: 6pm pickup at OSU Tulsa Downtown.
Thursday, March 26th: The Japanese student will shadow a host student at school. (If you do not have a similarly-aged child to chaperone the Japanese student during school, we will work with you to find a shadow student at a local school.). Free evening with host family.
Friday, March 27th: The Japanese student will shadow a host student at school. Free evening with host family.
Saturday, March 28th: Free day with host family. Ideas and best practices will be emailed to interested families.
Sunday, March 29th: Free morning and afternoon with host family. Farewell Dinner from 5:30-7:30pm where all students and host families will gather and meet. In years past, the students have performed songs and given short speeches. Afterwards, we bestow Honorary Tulsan Certificates provided by the Mayor's office.
Monday, March 30th: 6:20A.M. drop off at Tulsa International Airport.
We have male and female students coming, so we’ll match appropriately for your family. The students are accompanied by 3 adult chaperones. By this age, the students have studied English for 2 years, so they’re able to speak and understand basic sentences. Nevertheless, in case of an emergency, we have their chaperones and our committee as a resource.
More orientation-style information will be provided for families that express interest! Thank you for your consideration! We're excited to continue this tradition and bring this opportunity to our Tulsa community.
