Report of Overseas Experience

On September 20th and October 21st, students who went overseas this summer reported their trips in their attractive presentations for 1st year students who are thinking about going abroad next year. Most of them used the programs such as Tobitate JAPAN Program (Public-Private Partnership Student Study Abroad Program), Aeon 1% Asia Youth Leaders Program, and AIG High School Diplomats. Some talked about the experience of living abroad for a year.
(Voices from the Listeners)
・I thought the difference between short stays and long ones was just the length of the period.  However, I learned how attractive studying for a year or longer was because I could have more free time to spend with friends and build a stronger friendship. I also learned tips in choosing programs, which will be very helpful.
・I heard of the Tobitate Program before from my friend who participated in it.  But from the report, I was surprised at how fruitful, as well as demanding, the program was. I learned if I choose it, I need to be independent.  This has made me more interested in it.  Tobitate students have many opportunities to make a presentation and talk with students from other countries about Japanese culture in English. I am respectful of them because they had courage to try something new and have achieved it. It is my turn to give it a try.
