Do you love Japanese culture? Well you could have a chance to live it thanks to our sister city Eniwa in Hokkaido!
We’re looking for three secondary school students to go on a three week escorted Educational and Cultural Exchange to Eniwa, Hokkaido, Japan in June 2018.
Applying is easy, you’ll need a current valid passport and permission from your parents and preference is given those who attend a Timaru District School.
You can either write us a piece (150-200 words) or do a short video (1-2 minutes) on why you would be the best person to represent our district in Japan.
Approx airfare cost to the student $3000 + taxes and optional personal spending ($250-500). There will be no accommodation cost as you will be home-hosted with a Japanese family.
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview at end of November 2017. Whilst a knowledge of Japanese language & culture is not a pre-requisite, an affinity with Japanese culture would be an advantage.
For further information please contact Barrie Suter 688-5501 (bazsuter@xtra.co.nz), Eric Lindblom 615-8680 (lindblom@xtra.co.nz) or Nachiko Schollum 684-7997 (nachiko@xtra.co.nz).
