Lanugage & Culture Series

A Tayō-sei Program

Encouraging students to consider Japan as an option in the trajectory of their lives.

This 2020-21 program was a virtual Japanese language and culture seminar series for Black and LatinX college students at schools across the four states served by JETAA Southeast: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

The free course provided an opportunity for students underrepresented in studying or working abroad in Japan, specifically for those from LatinX backgrounds and students of color, to develop an interest in studying and living abroad in Japan.

This program was made possible with support from USJETAA, JETAASE and funding support from the Japan Foundation, Los Angeles.
