Get paired with a Japanese partner and visit a Japanese school to teach children
about your culture!

ICC's Outreach Program usually takes place at schools in and around Tokyo, but for
this special Outreach, Waseda students will be able to visit a school in lovely
Nagano Prefecture.
Details of the program will be explained to participants at an orientation meeting
where you also meet your partner for planning and preparing a lesson for the visit.

The Outreach Program is ideal for those interested in cross-cultural education,
volunteering, exchange with a Japanese student, practicing public speaking, or
teaching after graduation. We look forward to your application!

*What is the ICC Outreach Program?
The ICC Outreach Program pairs Japanese and international students to work together
