See you soon! But.....

Why?
This is what this person has been asking without getting any proper answer.

Kiyuna san has left MTEC for a while, because he completed his 3-year contract with our organization. Due to the Labor Standards Act of Japan (maybe...), the workers in his job category cannot continue the next contract immediately after completion. This case, there should be at least three months' interval before the next contract.

I don't know how to write this case:
Whether... there are participants in need, but there is no contract.
Or........ there is no contract, but there are participants in need.

Contribution from MTEC family

We've got a message from one of the previous participants. He, Mr. Gonzalo Alba, is an Uruguayan who attended Digital Video Production Course in 2007.
Feel free to wirte your comments and/or opinions in the comment field of this article, or you can write to MTEC Alumni. "Thank you for your cooperation."

"Let's establish an International MTEC"

Hi, MTEC family:

We all have received the benefits of study in Japan, not only at a professional field, but also in personal aspects.
Generosity of Japanese government and people has allowed us to learn, carry that knowledge back home, and spread it among collegues, friends and family.

MTEC has been working for 21 years by now and 900 participants from 87 countries around the world have been trained. Great job have been done. How could we cooperate in this task?

My experience living in OIC and having MTEC's training has left a mark on me, and opened new horizons.
According to my education, based in public institutions and community oriented, I feel we should cooperate with MTEC helping to spread that training.

That's why I propose start working with MTEC staff heading to establish regional offices in strategic places outside Japan, in order to facilitate, to make easier MTEC training, allowing more people to receive these fruitful exchange and training.

You all can calculate the economical cost of inviting participants to Japan.
We must remember it is paid by japanese people, through their taxes. In this time of worldwide crisis, I think we can give a hand and work together with MTEC in order to open new paths of cooperation.

So, If more of you are in tune with this proposal, I want to take the first step as a way to encourage you, offering all my skills, time and knowledge about my country, Uruguay, to start cooperating in the design of an international net and local offices of MTEC.

This is a proposal for MTEC staff also. Your job and efforts are priceless, invaluable.

I want to hear your comments from here.
I'm sure we can make this family grow up together.

Lectures between Production

Digital video production course has three production subjects. The participants of 09dvp course finished one of them. Between production subjects, we offer some theoretical topics based on educational engineering. Tomoyasu Maekasa san, your big brother, has been in charge of Instructional Design (ID) and Instructional System Design (ISD).

Take Good Care, otherwise.....

Well, we have encouraged our participants to go to gym for physical exercise & fitness. Now at the sight of this, we may need to add one phrase "Take good care when you play".
Musopole Sakayi Musango (Sakayi san) got injured in the gym when he was playing basketball last night.
At this very moment, he is undergoing an exam at orthopedics. He is accomppanied by his fellow classmate Stanley and our caring med-coordinator Michie san. I hope he will recover sooner, and join every activity he wants to join.

Eisa Dance 2006

I came across this video clip on Yourube.


To the current participants, this is the image that you are expected to do after joining Eisa Dance class in next month. After the practice, you will finally dance at the festival of Urasoe City like this. Wonderful and exciting, isn't it?

To the participants in 07tpm, this should be a good reminder of your performance.

Lecturing Out 2009

Hello to Mangrove Officers!
Like previous years, MTEC is presenting lectures to the participants of "Conservation and Sustainable Management of mangrove Ecosystems" Course.

Well, I doubt the session without practical presentation exercise is really effective for them, all I can do is to try to find the way.
I hope the participants understood "KISS - Keep It Short and Simle" and "6 x 6 Rule" to apply to their next presentation.
Good luck!
