Education & Inclusion: In Kanagawa, growing numbers of foreign-rooted children are getting Japanese lessons and career guidance so they can enter high school and join society. Music & Community: New Zealand’s Lōemis Festival is expanding its two-week lineup with more international acts, plus Lydia Lunch and a midwinter ball built for all genders and sexualities. Health & Science: China’s Tianzhou 10 mission sent lab-made “embryo-like” models into space to study early development under microgravity. Culture Diplomacy: The Netherlands returned rare 11th-century Chola copper plates to India, with Leiden University handing over related archival records. Tourism Boost: China rolled out a faster, more digital departure tax refund “2.0” to pull more spending from inbound visitors.
