We thought it might be fun to interview NCFE's Chief Strategy officer Philip Le Feuvre- by way of getting to know NCFE better.
No tree is more significant to the Japanese than the ornamental cherry or sakura. The pursuit of viewing and picnicking under cherry blossoms is called hanami and goes back more than 1,000 years.
Every year, we welcome Japanese students to our Worthing and Chichester Colleges, many of whom stay with us for two years to complete their A-Levels. In 2019, the Japanese government gave Chichester College a wonderful gift of six Sakura Cherry trees to celebrate the Japanese season of culture. The global pandemic delayed the delivery of these trees. The good news is that we finally received them this week. We will plant four trees gifted to us at our Chichester Campus and the other two at our Brinsbury College Campus.
We have received three different cherry tree species from the Japanese government. The Tai-haku or “great white” cherry tree is often depicted in ancient Japanese artworks and historical drawings. Sadly, this cherry tree species has become extinct in Japan. Here, the story of these trees takes a beautiful turn. When all thought that the Taihaku in Japan was lost forever, one was located by chance in a Sussex garden and reintroduced to Japan. Today, you can see them everywhere in Japan again!
Post Pandemic...Beat the Competition & Invest in Yourself
The Global pandemic has changed the way we think about the world. It's not just international students who have had to reconsider their values and reassess priorities. Nurses, carers, teachers, delivery drivers and supermarket workers are valued more than before- all vital societal contributors. How would we all have coped without them during the lockdown?
