日本に住みたいですか？
[Do you want to live in Japan?]

Do you love Japanese culture? Well, you could have a chance to live it thanks to our sister city Eniwa in Hokkaido!

We’re looking for three secondary school students to go on a three week escorted Educational and Cultural Exchange to Eniwa, Hokkaido, Japan in June 2018.

Applying is easy, you’ll need a current valid passport and permission from your parents and preference is given those who attend a Timaru District School.

You can either write us a piece (150-200 words) or do a short video (1-2 minutes) on why you would be the best person to represent our district in Japan.

Approx airfare cost to the student $3,000 + taxes and optional personal spending ($250-500), but travel subsidies may be available. There will be no accommodation cost as you will be home-hosted with a Japanese family.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview at end of November 2017. Whilst a knowledge of Japanese language & culture is not a pre-requisite, an affinity with Japanese culture would be an advantage.

For further information, please contact Barrie Suter (03) 688-5501 ([email protected]), Eric Lindblom (03) 615-8680 ([email protected]) or Nachiko Schollum (03) 684-7997 ([email protected]).

You can apply on-line at: Timaru.govt.nz/eniwaexchange
