A Call for Contestants/9th Annual Japanese Speech Contest for Foreigners 

  • 公開日:2018年07月28日

In order to better understand how Japan (Yamaguchi) is seen from the perspective of a non-native and to help spread information about various countries to the people of Yamaguchi, the Yamaguchi Prefectural Chapter of the United Nations Association of Japan is hosting the 29th Annual Japanese Speech Contest for Foreigners. In addition, this speech contest will help in the development of those who wish to work to spread internationalization and international cooperation, to create a sense of mutual understanding between the people of the prefecture and residents from abroad and to serve as a ground for international exchange.

Contestants will draw from their time in Japan, sharing their experiences, thoughts, and opinions in a Japanese speech.

We look forward to your applications!
