I had a report of my activity as Japan Cultural Envoy on 7 March at the Japan Cultural Envoy Forum 2016.
"Japan Cultural Envoy Forum 2016"
This year's "Japan Cultural Envoy Forum" is going to be held in United Nations University on Monday, March 7.
In this forum, four envoys who finished their terms either in FY2014 or FY2015 will give a talk about their experiences as a Japan Cultural Envoy, with using visual materials or giving a short performance of their own skills. You will learn what "Japan Cultural Envoy" is all about and how each of them faced the challenge of cultural exchange abroad through this forum.
