The International JET Conference Report
The following report was written by our country representative, Jamiena Shah.
This year’s meeting was made possible by funding from the Centre for Global Partnership and was supported by MOFA and CLAIR Tokyo. The official meeting took place Friday October 21st and Saturday October 22nd at the CLAIR Head Office in Tokyo.
The meeting was followed by a volunteer 2-day excursion to the Tohoku Region. Several JETAAi representatives joined current JET Programme participants of the Tohoku region to volunteer in the ongoing cleanup efforts in Rikuzentakata, where the late Montgomery (Monty) Dickson was stationed as a JET. It was important for JETAAi to find a way to give back in a real way, that wasn’t just money or an item on an agenda, and by going directly to the affected area to aid in the aftermath clean-up.
