The Japan Return Programme (JRP), NPO organises the Nihongo Summit by selecting and inviting panellists from among the foreign youth throughout the world who have studied Japanese. During a 35 day stay in Japan, they will present their opinions in Japanese concerning what they can do for world peace through panel discussions at the NihongoSummit, in addition to various programmes including interchanges with Japanese students, homestays, and experience of Japanese traditional culture.

The theme for the Summit in 2012 is “Peace - Kizuna for One World”. JRP strongly encourages enthusiastic young people who are willing to discuss global issues and peace in Japanese, while sharing experiences with youth of the same generation for 35 days, to apply as panellists of the Nihongo Summit.
