Holding manabow classes at elementary schools
We launched these classes to build on our educational efforts in finance and economics. Nomura Group employees visit upper-grade classes at elementary schools to teach the basics about currencies and exchange rates and show how yen fluctuations affect trade. They demonstrate currency changes through games. In fiscal 2008 we held 10 such classes in Japan teaching a total of more than 650 students.
