Established in 2015, KomaKids Program is a cross-cultural program aiming at fostering Global Competence for elementary school student through media creation. Student are encouraged to reflect back on their culture and present their ideas through creative media works such as Stop motion animation, Pen pal letter and real-time show and tell.
