On January 25, 2026, we visited the Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalid Al Nahyan Center in Al Ain, UAE, which is operated under the patronage of a member of the Royal Family.

During our visit, we delivered a presentation and conducted a live demonstration of Sekaiichi no Hashi. We met with the Center Director to introduce Liebe’s activities in Japan, our philosophy of early childhood physical education, and the concept behind Sekaiichi no Hashi.

We also exchanged ideas on early childhood education in Japan and the UAE, discussing opportunities for future collaboration, including educational exchange tours for educators from both countries.

In addition, we had the opportunity to use Sekaiichi no Hashi with the children at the center, where they actively participated in the activities and experienced the joy of movement through play. The demonstration provided valuable insights into how our educational approach can support children’s physical, cognitive, and social development across different cultures.

We also learned about the local culture.
