Would you like a chance to give a 10-15 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.
Of course, non-presenters are also welcome to attend.

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. Native speakers who volunteer receive a ¥2000 thank-you.

Every few months, Global Cafe hosts a special event – the Café Special -- where people have the opportunity to give brief presentations. The suggested theme for this session's Global Café Special is: Travel Abroad. 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), life as a foreigner in Japan and China, life as an immigrant to the US, and traditional Samoan culture. Presentations only need to be 10-15 minutes, the presenter will receive a ¥5000 gift card as a thank-you, and there is a pot-luck dinner afterwards where Japanese people bring home-made dishes and sweets.

So come out, make a short speech (and put it on your resume) and enjoy meeting new people and eating some food.
