In 2016, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app visited eleven countries and regions¡ªfrom China, India, and Malaysia to the U.K. and Brazil¡ªand participated in a total of 13 Japan study abroad fairs. Each year, Japanese institutions of higher education attend study abroad fairs to meet with talented students considering study in Japan and to explain the benefits of a Japanese education. ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app¡¯s academic faculty and staff often give short seminars and presentations as well as set up information booths to answer any questions potential students might have about admissions and student life.
On November 19, 2016, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app together with the British Council hosted, now in its sixth year, at The Royal Society¡¯s historic venue in the heart of London. The event has grown to be the largest Japan study abroad fair in London. 15 universities and educational institutions exhibited alongside five Japanese institutions based in the UK, welcoming nearly 700 British and European visitors in a single day.
In addition to the information booths, EJE hosted a wide range of seminar programs: an introduction to digital education platform, where ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app offers courses; a crash course on diversity withinotakuculture by, Associate Professor at ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app¡¯s Graduate School of Media Design (KMD); study abroad experiences in Japan by British students; and information concerning employment in Japan.
