GEYC arrives in Japan between 4th-10th of October represented by our colleague, Cristina-Elena BĂLĂCEANU, who will take part in the MIRAI 2017 Program, together with 165 students from Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus.
MIRAI is a short-term youth exchange program which invites graduate and undergraduate students from Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus to interact and exchange ideas through lectures, workshops, visits, and other events.
The objectives of this exchange include:
- Promoting mutual understanding among young people;
- Promoting a global understanding of Japan’s economy, society, history, diverse culture, politics, and foreign policy;
- Disseminating information about Japan and its learning opportunities.
More social media updates are available via the #xplorJP hashtag. GEYC and PRISMA European Network support Cristina in achieving her communication objectives.
