Cross-Border Learning Journey in Fukushima ~ US-Japan Collaboration for Resilient Civil Society

WIT主催で10月に日米のリーダーが福島を訪れ、社会起業/NPOと協働するプログラムを開催します。昨年は11名のアメリカからの各分野の方がご参加くださり、多くのコラボレーションが起きております。 ご興味のある方はぜひご参加ください。

Are you interested in making a difference and contributing to the US-Japan relationship in a real and practical way? Using the skills, capabilities and networks that you’ve already acquired you can help those in need in Japan!

In collaboration with WIT (World in Tohoku), a Japanese nonprofit, you can spend a week in Japan working with other US and Japanese leaders to solve challenges and problems of local people in Tohoku. You will tour sites in the Tohoku Region to see first-hand the restoration process from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011. Then you will work in teams to use your skills to solve and overcome challenges.

Stop sitting on the sidelines – apply now and make a difference!
