Example:
A group of three U.S. JETs will organize an information session about U.S. exchange study for approximately 40 Japanese high school and university students and their parents. The organizers will recruit Japanese who recently studied in U.S. high schools and universities. Those “returnees” will speak about their varied experiences. Participants will have a chance to speak with the returnees in small groups before enjoying light refreshments.
