At the reception, Consul-General Matsui offered the participants his words of encouragement for their future activities, as the JET programme has an important role in strengthening positive relations between Japan and New Zealand such as the promotion of Japanese language education as noted in the Japan-New Zealand Joint Leaders’ Statement on 19th June, 2024. He expressed his hopes that the new participants will experience fantastic encounters with the people, lifestyle and culture in respective regions of Japan, based on which they will build new bridges to promote exchange between the two countries, and work together to contribute to Japanese language education after their return.
After completing an orientation in Tokyo, the JET Programme participants will travel to schools around Japan to start working as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) .
We wish you safe and healthy trip and stay in Japan, Itte-rasshai!
