Otago Girls' High School teachers Lisa Taylor (left) and Nicola Chapman brush up on their Indonesian geography as they prepare to visit the country next week. The teachers will be staying at the homes of their Indonesian partner teachers and visiting their classrooms to get a taste of Indonesian education, life and culture. Mrs Chapman said given recent events in Christchurch, New Zealanders were now more aware the world needed understanding and respect for each other's cultures. It is a collaboration between Asia New Zealand Foundation Te Whitau Tuhono and the Southeast Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence (Sea Cape). The Indonesian host teachers will, in turn, visit New Zealand to learn about Kiwi culture and education in June.
