Do you want to tell people about your culture? Do you like kids or think about teaching after graduation? Do you want to try a volunteer activity or make new Japanese friends?
If so, then sign up for the ICC Outreach Program!
The ICC Outreach Program pairs international students with students from Japan to help foster intercultural understanding in the local community. Each pair creates a lesson about the international student’s culture to present at a local Japanese school.
At the orientation ICC will explain details of the program and provide templates and sample materials. Then, you and your partner will work together to prepare, practice and then present your lesson at the school.
Check the details below and apply today!
