Comments Off on Japan Outreach Initiative Program
From the JETAA Chicago webletter. Apparently there’s a sort of reverse JET Program going on:
Do you know any Japanese citizens who would like to work in the United States promoting Japanese culture? If so, please forward this information to them!
Accepting Applications to the Japan Outreach Initiative Program. Deadline: January 7, 2009
JOI is seeking outgoing, energetic Japanese nationals interested in joining the program (a monthly stipend is provided, see www.laurasian.org/joi for more details about the program and other financial support).
Japan ranks as the 4th largest trading partner of the United States,behind Canada, China, and Mexico. Despite this fact, many of Americans have little knowledge and awareness of Japan, its culture and significance and contributions to the United States and the rest of the
world.
To address this issue, The Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership (CGP) and The Laurasian Institution (TLI) designed the Japan Outreach Initiative (JOI). This program offers a grassroots opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of Japan by sending Japanese individuals to Southern and Midwestern host sites as volunteer staff doing community outreach activities about Japan.
