The objectives of JENESYS 2016 (Economics) are to promote mutual trust and understanding among the people of Japan and participating countries and regions, to build a basis for future friendship and cooperation.
It also aims to promote a global understanding of Japan’s economies, society, politics and foreign policy, among others.
This batch comprised of 12 students and a lecturer from Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB), Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), and Politeknik Brunei; 4 from Brunei International Air Cargo Centre Sdn. Bhd; 4 from Archipelago Development Cooporation, and a journalist from Brunei Times.
The theme for this batch is “logistics”, and participants will be visiting Japan’s leading logistics company, Sankyu Inc. in Tokyo. The Programme also includes participants visiting the Tomioka Silk Mill (Gunma Perfecture) – a silk-reeling factory built in 1872, as it is one of the symbols of Japan’s modernisation following the Meiji Restoration. The youth will learn how industries were nurtured during the early stages of Japan’s industrialisation.
In addition, they will go to the Takasaki University of Commerce (Gunma Prefecture) – a private university founded in 2011 known for providing highly skilled human resources for a wide variety of industries, particularly the logistics industry.
