Our main focus at JASP is to nurture the confidence and global mindsight of students attending Japanese universities.  My role on the team is to help prepare our JASP speakers to go into the classroom and share stories and create an interactive class together.  Storytelling is one of the most ancient arts in history. We try to break up the class into “mini discussions” to help the students think about what is a global mindset, and how they can become a bridge between Japan and the rest of the world.
