Description

🌿 Hello! My name is Haru.
I currently work as a special needs education teacher in Japan (7th year).
In July 31 to October 25th 2026, I will stay in Denmark for three months to learn from local schools, teachers, and communities. I’m looking for a host family or community where I can contribute through everyday tasks while gaining opportunities to learn and understand Danish education and life.

🌟 About me

I have a bright smile, positive energy, and love meeting new people.

Friends often tell me I’m curious, kind, and a good listener.

I enjoy communicating, connecting with people, and learning from different backgrounds.

I’m very active and take initiative. I love trying new things!

🧡 Experience & skills

7 years as a teacher at a special needs school in Japan

Qualified in Paedagog (paedagog Japan), focusing on building relationships through dialogue and play.

Experience caring for animals. I have a dog in Japan and love taking care of pets.

I enjoy cooking so can help cook for the family.

I’m happy to help with cleaning, organizing, playing with children.

🎒 Purpose of my stay

In my 7 years as a teacher, I’ve had many challenges in Japanese schools for children, families, and teachers. I want to explore what makes a school a happy place for everyone.

Denmark has long inspired me with its paedagog, emphasis on dialogue and balanced approach to education.

During my stay, I hope to visit local schools and after school care facilities, talk with paedagog, teachers, parents and children. Learn through daily life in a Danish community to understand similarities and differences between Denmark and Japan.
Then I want to bring back ideas that can help create better environments for Japanese children and educators.

🌼 What I hope to offer

Cultural exchange (teaching Japanese language or cooking Japanese meals).

💬 Final message

I’m very excited to experience daily life in Denmark and learn from people I meet.

Thank you for reading. I really look forward to meeting you! 🌿
