As Japan prepares to mark the 60th anniversary of the Aug. 15 end of World War II, 24 British high school students are working to promote mutual understanding by holding exchanges on wartime history with Japanese people.
The students from Oxford's Cheney School began a 10-day tour of war-related sites in Japan on Aug. 2 as part of the "Their Past Your Future" project, organized by the London-based Imperial War Museum.
As part of the tour, the Britons on Aug. 3 discussed historical events with some 70 Japanese students in the Kanto region at Yokohama Eiwa Jogauin High School.
