25th Annual Japanese Speech Contest for Foreigners
A Call for Contestants
In order to better understand how Japan (Yamaguchi) is seen from the perspective
of a non-native and to help spread information about various countries
to the people of Yamaguchi, the Yamaguchi Prefectural Chapter of the United
Nations Association of Japan is hosting the 25th Annual Japanese Speech
Contest for Foreigners. In addition, this speech contest will help in the
development of those who wish to work to spread internationalization and
international cooperation, to create a sense of mutual understanding between
the people of the prefecture and residents from abroad and to serve as
a ground for international exchange.
Contestants will draw from their time in Japan, sharing their experiences,
thoughts and opinions in a Japanese speech.
We look forward to your applications!
