DLSU Integrated School Delegates Head to Japan for HJRP 2026!
Last August 17–22, 2026, DLSU Integrated School delegates embarked on an enriching journey to Japan as part of the Hybrid Joint Research Program (HJRP) 2026.
The visit was filled with meaningful learning experiences and memorable moments. Our students participated in the Youth Center Adventure Program (YCAP), strengthening teamwork, building friendships, and stepping outside their comfort zones. They also conducted data collection for their joint research projects and presented their progress to students, parents, and teachers—putting their ideas into action alongside their Japanese peers from the Institute of Science Tokyo High School.
Beyond research and scheduled activities, one of the most meaningful parts of the journey was the opportunity to bond with host families. Through shared meals, conversations, and everyday experiences, our students gained a deeper appreciation of Japanese culture while creating connections that cross borders.
More than just a trip, the HJRP experience was a true journey of research, friendship, cultural exchange, and discovery. As our delegates return home with new knowledge, cherished memories, and lasting connections, their journey continues through their ongoing collaborative research projects.
