CLAIR has announced the upcoming “JET Furusato Vision Project”.
Through this project you can return to your former place of employment on JET, visit places you had strong connections with and reconnect with the community. More importantly, you can develop and implement your own ‘Vision Plan’ that utilizes the skills and connections you acquired after JET to make new contributions to your former community in areas such as Tourism Promotion, Economic Exchange, Educational Exchange, Culture & Arts Exchange, Grassroots Exchange, Current JET Participant Career Support, or some other project to deepen your ties with your furusato and their ties with the world.
JET alumni whose former contracting organizations are in Western Japan are eligible to apply in 2017. JET alumni whose former contracting organizations are in Eastern Japan may apply in 2018.
