Dear Friends and Supporters,

First of all, I hope this letter finds you and your family well!

It has been three years since we established the World Campus – Japan program with the intention to keep the legacy of UwP alive in Japan. During this time, we have successfully done that facilitating 5 seasonal programs in 12 Japanese communities, resulting in 152 globally aware alumni from 32 countries. In that group, we have welcomed over 10 UwP alumni as participants and staff whose involvement and skills were most welcomed and deeply appreciated.

I attached a letter from one of the UWP alumni who participated in the World Campus – Japan program in 2009. She explains about her experience. If this sounds like something you would like to become part of as well, we would love to hear from you!

Come and use your UwP skills in Japan with participants from around the world! You’ll gain unique access to Japanese businesses and politicians as well as institutions of education, culture, and social welfare. You’ll make meaningful contributions by engaging in workshop discussions, presenting your cultural and artistic talent through public presentations as well as the unforgettable host family stays.
