The program incorporates daily activities and cultural outing to improve the Japanese experience. We welcome Indonesian youth, regardless of their degree of Japanese language proficiency. We will use English and Bahasa Indonesia as main communication tool.
Our aim is to inspire the Indonesian Youth to open their minds to other cultures and recognize the importance of language learning at the same time. We want the participants to end their trip by leaving with a better knowledge of Japan and a solid foundation in the global friendship network as well as with amazing and unforgettable experiences. During the program, participants will take public transport (Bus, Metro, subway train) to deepen their understanding of the Japanese way of life and be like a local.
This program is a cultural learning program designed to give an understanding on culture and social awareness since 2015. This program enables participants to learn about Japanese culture in line with making a friend directly. This program is also an avenue to enhance knowledge and skill to face globalization.
