Since then, both states have had many exchanges in various fields such as culture, education and civil participation. In 1971, the Good Will Mission, which is the mutual exchange of citizens\u2019 delegation, was started, through it, citizens in both states have deepened mutual understanding and friendship. In 1988, the Japan Center for Michigan Universities was established in Shiga and more than ten thousand students from Michigan and Shiga have learned together since then. We believe that the exchange between Michigan and Shiga is a good example of the power of lakes, which connect people beyond national boundaries and different cultures and customs, and that this connection leads to various people-to-people exchanges and greater mutual understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Author&#8217;s poster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-accent-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ugto.mx\/wlc18\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2022\/01\/111.Nishimura.poster.pdf\">View poster<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">View the author&#8217;s explanation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"111.Nishimura.poster.mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/638167266?h=bbb787b89c&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author(s): Shunsuke Nishimura Email (s):\u00a0nishimura-shunsuke@pref.shiga.lg.jp Institution or organization of origin:\u00a0Shiga Prefectural Government Country:\u00a0Japan Abstract The State of Michigan, USA, and Shiga Prefecture, Japan became sister states in 1968 through the connection of their lakes, the Great Lakes and Lake Biwa.
