Internships and Independent Studies

Students at the Japan Center may undertake one independent study project. This maybe a class taken outside the Center or a self-designed project in arts, literature, health and healing, martial arts, sociology, philosophy, religion. The Japan Center staff tries to help students arrange to work with a mentor who is a specialist in a field or to work on projects such as teaching English. Projects can be fairly easily arranged in most of the arts in Kyoto.

Students have recently had the following internships:

• Asian Rural Institute, environmental issues
• Foreign Buyers Club, international business
• Green Action, environmental issues
• Kodomo no Ie, homeless children’s center
• Kyoto Visitor’s Guide, magazine publishing
• PC4Peace, non-profit organization
• Hanasakuso Elderly Care, senior citizen daycare center
• Sake Brewing, brewery techniques
• WOOF Japan, sustainable agriculture
