I’m interested in telling people about my culture!
I’m thinking of teaching after graduation!
I want to try a volunteer activity!
I want to make new Japanese & International friends!
I like kids!
If any of these sounds like you, then sign up for the ICC Outreach Program!
The ICC Outreach Program pairs local (raised and educated in Japan) and international students to work together to plan and give a lesson to promote intercultural understanding at Japanese schools.
Details of the program will be explained at the ICC orientation. Afterward, you and your partner will work together to prepare the lesson plan and materials.
