Aquí vemos como se organizan los Japoneses, la verdad ha sido toda una lección ver la coordinación de este encuentro de cerca.

Dear members,

This is Kiyomi from the summit office.
Attached is the detail of the program.
Please read carefully, and if you have any
questions, please feel free to ask.

Respectfully,

Kiyomi Lee Carter

Please understand that there may be some changes to the programs. This is still a “planned” version of the program detail.

Essay Writing

We are asking every representative to write an introductory essay about the environment. The essay must be written in Microsoft Word and should not exceed 2000 words. The deadline is March 15^th. We are asking this because Japanese children go through a more complicated process, and they are chosen by essays. It is also to make it fair for Japanese children. Currently, we have 840 applications, and only 30 will participate in the summit.

Poster Session

During the summit, there will be a designated gallery for the audience to take a look at posters related to the environment. Please prepare a drawing or poster related to your presentation (1 drawing per country).

Program

All communication will be made in English during the summit. However, there will be interpreters and language supporters to help if needed.
