The Keio University/College of William & Mary Cross-Cultural Collaboration (CCC) is a cultural studies program with a focus on experiential learning, allowing both Japanese and American students to study questions of cultural difference and national identity. The program brings forty Japanese university students to America for 16 days (August 2-17, 2015) to experience American society and culture with William & Mary graduate and undergraduate students. This summer marks the 25th year of this unique collaborative program between Tokyo-based Keio University and the College of William & Mary.
Students from both institutions spend 12 days in Williamsburg, participating in framework lectures, classroom discussions, and fieldwork activities. Keio participants prepare research presentations based on information gathered in both Japan and the United States. William & Mary students work with the visiting Keio students to complete these projects and participate in sharing and reflecting on their experiences and cultures. Then, the students and staff travel to Washington, D.C. for three days of guided sightseeing activities and classroom discussions, exploring the cultural significance of the capital city to Americans.
