Would you like a chance to give a 10 minute presentation and meet many local Gunma residents?

ON December 10th Gunma Prefectural Women's University will
host the GLOBAL CAFÉ SPECIAL and Pot-Luck Party

Volunteer presenters will receive a ¥5000 thank-you.
(Presentation positions will be awarded on a first-come first-served basis.)

Global Café is a weekly English conversation group for people from around Gunma. Every Thursday from 6.30 - 7.45, Japanese people of a wide variety of ages and backgrounds gather at the Gunma Kencho in Maebashi to practice English, have some tea or coffee, and meet foreigners in a relaxed atmosphere.

Every few months, Global Cafe hosts an event –- the Café Special -- where people have the opportunity to give brief presentations. The suggested theme for this session's Global Café Special is Language and Culture, but don’t let that limit you. Past presenters have often been ALT's talking about their homes and cultures, experience in Japan, or anything that interests them. Topics have included: the history of blues music, Mongolian Throat Singing, Kosher cuisine, the controversy surrounding Dokuto island (claimed by both Japan and Korea), comparing life as a foreigner in Japan and China, life as an immigrant to the US, and traditional Samoan culture. Presentations should be no longer than 10 minutes, and the presenter will receive ¥5000 as thanks. Furthmore there is a pot-luck dinner afterwards where Japanese people bring home-made dishes and sweets. If you are interested contact:
