About Me

Hello! I’m Kayo. Originally a primary school teacher in Japan, I was moved by the need for a more inclusive educational system for foreign students, which led me to pursue further studies in Germany. Here, I focused on art education for refugees and immigrants, culminating in a thesis and the attainment of my degree. Currently, I work as an art teacher at a refugee shelter in Germany, where I strive to make a difference through creativity and language learning.

In my personal life, I am a mother to a lively two-year-old and a wife to a dedicated stay-at-home husband. Through this blog, I aim to share updates about my professional journey in English, while also keeping a personal diary in Japanese about our family life. Join me as I navigate the challenges and joys of teaching, motherhood, and cultural exchange.
