NYC invites applicants for Japan youth exchange program

The National Youth Commission (NYC) is now accepting applicants for Student Ambassadors and Supervisors to a 10-day Visit to Japan as part of the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths (JENESYS) Program. This program is in partnership with the Japan International Cultural Center (JICC) of the Embassy of Japan and the Japan International Cooperation Center (JICE).

The JENESYS Program is an annual youth exchange program that provides the youth with the opportunity to visit ASEAN countries and Japan, and establish friendship with their counterparts.

The delegates will live on board a Japanese luxury ship. While on country visits, they undertake various activities such as courtesy call, interaction with local youth, institutional visits, and homestay with local families.

The Program aims to deepen understanding of the different facets of the Japanese society including politics, diplomacy, economics and culture and to form the basis of future vision and construct firm solidarity among Asian countries which will promote mutual understanding of the future generation of ASEAN and East Asia Summit member countries.

To qualify for the JENESYS Programme of student ambassadors, applicants must be Filipino, single, must be between 16 to 18 years old, on or before April 1, 2010; and of good moral character.
