Abstract

Our students are tremendously connected with others through the internet. However, direct communication is decreasing nowadays. We would like to introduce four activities with human warmth done by students at two private middle schools in Japan. They are 1. Reading Aloud to Children at Toshima City Library (Toshimagaoka) to contribute to local community, 2. Philosophy Café (Toshimagaoka) with a neighbor University, 3. Bibliobattle, Japanese new reading activity with other schools (Toshimagaoka & Shibuya) and 4. Used Book Fair (Shibuya) to donate the UNESCO Fund.
