Students and teachers arrive from Japan tour

MANILA, Philippines ? Some 56 Filipino high school students and five teachers recently arrived from a 13-day cultural tour of Japan as part of the Japan East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths ? American Field Service (JENESYS ? AFS) Programme 2011. The program, implemented in collaboration with the American Field Service (AFS) Intercultural Programs, took participants to Japanese high schools and tourist destinations in various prefectures.

Kiyoshi Takeuchi, director of the Japan Information and Culture Center (JICC), encouraged delegates to serve as friendship ambassadors, and to recognize their JENESYS experience as a lifetime commitment in maintaining and promoting amiable relations between the Philippines and Japan.

The JENESYS program is one of several youth exchange programs which aims to promote understanding between Japan and other countries. In April 2012, about 400 Filipino youth will participate in the Disaster Management and Recovery Program and Environment Issues in Japan. They will learn about Japan?s experience in dealing with natural disasters, and witness its ongoing recovery efforts from the earthquake and tsunami.
