Diversity and Education Program with Ehime University
About the Program
Ehime Students outside of the Museum of Pop and Culture (MoPOP)
The Diversity and Education Program with Ehime University, is a short-term visiting program for 6 undergraduate students from Ehime University in Japan from March 4th to March 17th. During the 2-week program, students will gain understanding of U.S. diversity and the U.S. education system. They will grow their leadership capacity, expand their English language skills, and become acquainted with people and places of interest in Seattle. Participants will take English classes during many of the mornings, followed by site visits to schools and organizations, cultural excursions, communication workshops, and more.
Get Involved
Community Members are invited to host one or more Ehime participants for the entirety of the program or a portion of the program. The Homestay is an important opportunity for participants to learn about U.S. culture and connect with local people. If you’re already a FIUTS host, contact olena@fiuts.org for information about hosting an Ehime participant; if you have not yet hosted but would like to sign up for this exciting opportunity, fill out the host application here.
Seattle area university students can get involved in the Ehime program by applying to be a Japan Programs Ambassador. Ambassadors are a critical piece of the program and act as peer mentors, cultural liaisons, friends and student leaders. Ambassadors learn new skills, build their resume, make international friends and have fun! The application deadline for this Ambassador program is TBD. If you have questions about the Ambassador program, please contact FIUTS Programs Specialist: Education Programs , Nada Ramadan, at nada@fiuts.org.
