The high school in Shibuya is looking for foreign exchange students who can speak good English to help us with a government-funded school project called “Hiroshima Brochure Project.” In this project, students will create a travel brochure in English, based on their school trip experience in Hiroshima, in order to give better and broader understanding of World War II to the students of our sister school in the United States. Your job as a mentor here is to help them create the brochure and evaluate their works and presentations. (See “Duties and Responsibilities” for detail.)

■IMPORTANT NOTICE

In the project, some teams may mention World War Two in some parts of their presentations (as the school trip destination is Hiroshima and they will choose the topic they’re interested in).

The school will decide which team you will be assigned to, so Tomonokai cannot assign you to a team avoiding this topic.

Your main role is to provide feedback for the purpose of improving the presentation, not to further discuss the theme of the presentation. However, if you find this theme uncomfortable, please refrain from applying.
