The Keio University/College of William & Mary Cross-Cultural Collaboration (CCC) is a cultural studies program centered around experiential learning, allowing both Japanese and American students to study questions of cultural difference and national identity.
This program brings forty Japanese university students to America for 16 days to experience first-hand American society and culture with William & Mary graduate and undergraduate students. This summer marks the 23rd year of this unique collaborative program between Tokyo-based Keio University and William & Mary.
Students from both institutions spend 12 days in Williamsburg, participating in framework lectures and fieldwork activities. Keio participants conduct research for an extensive project and presentation drawn from information gathered in both Japan and the United States. William & Mary students work with the visiting Keio students to complete this research and participate in sharing and reflecting on their experiences and cultures. Then, the entire group and staff travel to Washington, D.C. for three days of guided sight-seeing activities and classroom discussions, exploring the cultural significance of the capital city to Americans.
