Abstract
The year 2005 was the 10th commemorative year of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. To commemorate the 10th anniversary, one of the evening senior high schools in Hyogo, Japan tried an on-line intercultural project in the period of integrated study. Students introduced their own experience of the earthquake on the web so that those who read their experience may prepare for future disasters. Six months study of disaster reduction and the participation in the international conference, ‘Natural Disaster Youth Summit’ changed the students’ attitude to natural disasters and view to global problems. In this report, the process of the project and the change of the students’ attitude will be described. Also, theoretical hypothesis of on-line international collaborative learning will be considered.
