Presentations by CLAIR on Japan’s local governments, the JET Programme and the JET Alumni Association(JETAA)’s activities for Mayors, CEOs and other officials as part of the SCNZ Regional Focus Group Meeting were held at Rotorua Lakes Council. Participants were grateful for the information and were interested in collaborating with JETAA.
Talks on sister-city relationships were lively as they discussed a variety of different topics including difficulties, issues, benefits and how to best measure them, and how to engage different organisations and the community (particularly young people). They also talked about what activities are most popular between sister cities.
