On-Site Program

Internship in subtitling and translation of foreign films related to the SDGs

Students participate from April to July in an internship at Japan Visualmedia Translation Academy Co., Ltd (JVTA) to work on subtitling and translating foreign films related to the SDGs. Students not only complement each other’s language skills but also bring together their knowledge accumulated through their major fields of study and combine this towards the common theme of a sustainable future.

Training in cooperation with the Institute for Japanese Studies, Seoul National University

At the end of July, we conduct an overseas training program in Seoul, South Korea, in cooperation with the Institute for Japanese Studies (IJS), Seoul National University. This program involves field trips to sites where national and ethnic divisions that originated in the Cold War continue to this day to help students develop a perspective that links the past with the present. Students visit the front lines of the Cold War divide and then take related courses at IJS with specialized researchers. Following the completion of this series of activities, the students from Japan, the U.S., and the Philippines who have participated in all the programs give a presentation on what they have learned throughout the program at the presentation session. “Junior Fellow” students of IJS coming from across Seoul National University also participate in the tours, courses, and presentation sessions held during the overseas training program, with academic dialogue taking place on crossover points for interdisciplinary and international perspectives.
