A program that provides "original experiences" to the youth who will lead the future.
[Practical Language Learning]
The basic communication during the training period is English. Not only language study at school, but also daily conversations with teachers and locals, interactions at accommodation and shopping – everything is practical learning. By actively speaking English and asking questions, participants can overcome resistance to speaking and expand their ways of expressing themselves in English.
[Real Exchange in a Multicultural Society]
Through opportunities for dialogue with local residents and students from different backgrounds than Japan, participants can deepen their understanding of different cultures, leading to a re-recognition of their Japanese identity and personal growth. Connections made during the training become precious treasures that are hard to obtain in daily life.
[Fieldwork Learning with All Five Senses]
Experiential learning at local museums and other facilities, and exploring the streets of Singapore, allows participants to feel and learn about historical and cultural differences firsthand, providing an opportunity to reconsider Japan.
[Generous Support for Challenges]
Utilizing donations from local company "Fukaki Keori Co., Ltd.", the city will cover two-thirds of the participation fee. In addition, tour conductors and city officials will accompany the training. By reducing the burden on participants, the city strongly backs the challenges of enthusiastic young people.
Training Schedule (Planned)
This training aims to cultivate not only language skills but also an international perspective, thinking ability, problem-solving skills, proactiveness, action skills, and communication skills.
