Applications are now open for the Japan Local Government Centre’s Japan Study Tour 2010. The tour aims to foster a deeper understanding of Japan, its culture and system of local government, and encourage the exchange of ideas and information. It is an ideal opportunity for senior officers from local government and related organisations in the United Kingdom.

The tour will take place from the 25th of July to the 4th of August, beginning with a visit to the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR) in Tokyo where participants will learn about the relationships between central and local government in Japan. Following this will be a trip to Kyoto prefecture, home to a population of 2.6 million and famous for its many temples and historical sites. Here participants will learn about Japanese local government and participate in visits and meetings. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience a short home stay with a Japanese family and visit a number of famous local sites. Accomodation, travel and food expenses in Japan during the tour will be covered by CLAIR, but participants must bear the cost of the flight between the UK and Japan.

Please contact Keith Kelly at JLGC on 020 7839 8500, kelly@jlgc.org.uk, for more information and applications.

Deadline: 22nd April 2010
