This event offers students the chance to experience hands on workshops with experts and listen to live speakers. It is aimed at students who are studying Japanese, but will also be of interest to those who have not had the opportunity to do so formally at school, but are considering taking Japanese studies (or Japanese alongside other subjects) at university. 

The day will feature a lecture by Professor Noma from Ritsumeikan University and a panel discussion by university students about their experience with Japan and Japanese Studies. A keynote address will be delivered by Ryan Keeble, News Producer at Fujisankei Communications International Ltd and current chairman of the JET Alumni Assocation in the UK (JETAA UK). >> Find out more
