Antou Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tsu City. It stands in a rice field, and there are no tall buildings around it. It has a total number of 164 students. It is known to many local people for education in the practice of rice agriculture, and also, for a sister school exchange program with Kamifuranonishi Elementary School in Hokkaido.
Thanks to the generosity of a local farmer who lends a rice field to the school at no cost, the students can experience the full cycle of rice horticulture, from planting and nurturing to harvesting.

This is the third time consecutively since 2003 for our students to join the World Youth meeting.
Since last year, Antou Elementary School has been registered as a special school for the promotion of English Programs by the Tsu Municipal government. We have started a special program providing students with regular, weekly English classes. We have clearly noticed that students need opportunities that motivate them to think things such as, 'I'd like to tell them this and that,' or 'Iwant to talk with this or that person.'
The World Youth Meeting is a great occasion for them to express the feeling that 'I want to tell them this and that" and "I want to talk to them more." 23 pupils, from the 1st grade to the 6th grade, are going to join the World Youth Meeting this year. All of them are modest and shy, having been brought up in a quiet environment. But we have trained them and they know that they should talk to you cheerfully, briskly and in a clearly audible voice. They really want to tell you 'We have a local hero, Tsunejiro Tanaka. Thanks to him, we have many friends.' We are sure they will do well and you will enjoy their presentation.
