2008 Educational Tour for Singaporean Students to Japan under the JENESYS* Programme
  
 


The Government of Japan has introduced a new subsidised scheme for Educational Tour for Singaporean Students to Japan under the JENESYS (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths) programme from August 2008. It is hoped that under the subsidised scheme, much more Singaporean students will visit Japan, thereby facilitating a well-balanced understanding of the various aspects of Japan. The scheme is administered by JICE (Japan International Cooperation Center).

*JENESYS
Designed to strengthen solidarity in East Asia through the promotion of mutual understanding among the younger generations in the region, Mr Shinzo Abe, who was Japan’s Prime Minister then, introduced this large-scale youth exchange initiative totaling US$315 million at Manila in 2007. Approximately 6,000 youths, mainly from East Asia Summit (EAS) member countries, will be invited to Japan over next five years under the JENESYS Programme.
