The Delegation of the European Union to Japan has been increasingly active on the public diplomacy front, organizing various events to reach out to a wider audience.
In May alone, there will be the European Higher Education Fair (EHEF), now in its seventh year, and the 16th annual EU Film Days. The former will be held on May 19 in Tokyo and May 20 in Osaka. EU Film Days will take place in Tokyo from May 26 through June 21, in Kyoto from June 2 to 24 and Hiroshima from July 1 to 13.
The EHEF, an effort by the EU Delegation and several co-organizers, including Campus France and the German Academic Exchange Service, Meiji University and Osaka International House, strives to project Europe as an interesting and affordable destination for higher education. The EU is a top destination for the millions of students studying outside their home country, and we feel there is further potential in getting this message across to Japanese students eager to study abroad.
