On March 2, CLAIR Sydney attended the JET Programme Returnees Reception at the residence of the Consul-General of Japan in Sydney. At the beginning of the reception, there was a session for returnees to present their experiences in Japan as JET participants, and one of the returnees presented in Japanese. They said their experiences and memories in Japan became great assets in their lives. We hope they will continue to play a role as a bridge between Australia and Japan.
On March 22, the JET Programme Returnee Reception was held at the residence of the Consul-General of Japan in Perth. CLAIR Sydney was invited to the reception and together with other attending guests, applauded the returnee’s successes in Japan. We were glad to hear that they had wonderful experiences in Japan through the JET Programme, and some of them have already joined JETAA WA. In the reception, a new JET participant also attended and got advices about living and working in Japan from the returnees and JETAA members. We wish the new JET good luck in Japan and hope that the returnees will continue to play a role as a bridge between Japan and Australia.
