On January 12, we held a Japan-focused information seminar at Eskişehir Anadolu Lisesi. The seminar attracted strong interest from high school students and provided a comprehensive overview of Japan’s education system, the Japanese language, and study opportunities in Japan.
In the first part of the seminar, a general framework was presented covering Japan’s cultural structure, its educational philosophy, and the global position of the Japanese language. It was emphasized that learning Japanese is not merely the acquisition of a language, but a long-term investment in academic and career development.
Following this, detailed information was shared about the J-MENA Project, one of the Japan government–supported international academic cooperation programs. Within the scope of this project, students were informed about opportunities to apply to Japanese universities through English- or Japanese-taught programs, as well as special quotas and scholarship options. Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of early planning, especially for high school–aged students.
In the next part of the seminar, university education in Japan, language schools, application procedures, and the living conditions students can expect during their studies were discussed. Topics such as daily life in Japan, accommodation options, work opportunities, and student life were presented through concrete examples. This enabled students to more clearly evaluate not only the academic aspects of studying in Japan, but also its social and cultural dimensions.
During the question-and-answer session, students’ questions regarding the Japanese language learning process, university admission requirements, and scholarship opportunities were addressed. This interactive segment clearly demonstrated the students’ strong interest and curiosity about the topic.
Through this seminar held at Eskişehir Anadolu Lisesi, we aimed to increase students’ awareness of educational opportunities in Japan and to help them shape their future plans more consciously. Our Japan-focused education and consultancy activities will continue through seminars and events to be organized in different cities.
