Encounter Activities
“Encounter” is an “exchange of honesty and truth” and “exchange of hearts and minds” in which participants express their true feelings and acknowledge each other through facilitator-led group work (exercises, sharing, etc.). The six aims of “Self-understanding,” “Understanding others,” “Self-acceptance,” “Promotion of sensitivity,” “Self-assertion,” and “Experience of trust” are incorporated in the exercises.
In addition to being used in moral education classes and homeroom activities at elementary, junior high, and high schools in Japan, the program has been widely introduced in corporate workshops and nursing care training.
The reason why Daiki Japanese Language Institute Tokyo insists on encounters is not only to create an environment where students can get along with each other and learn Japanese in a good atmosphere.
We also believe that it is important from the viewpoint of human resource development for students to have their own opinions, to respect others who have different opinions, to brush up their own opinions by listening to others’ opinions, and to have their own opinions about things for which there are no answers.

Contact with the community
We believe that it is important to participate in community association events and clean-up activities held in the Shiba district of Minato Ward, to interact with local residents, to become a part of the community, and to experience what it is like to be one of the community members.
The annual “Shiba District Clean Campaign” conducted by Minato Ward is an activity in which 560 people, including 63 companies, neighborhood associations, residents’ associations, and local residents in the Shiba District cooperate to clean up the area, raise awareness about the smoking ban on the streets, and attach warning tags to abandoned bicycles.
One of the international students who participated in the event said, “I didn’t know so many working people were participating! They were surprised at the number of participants and were culture-shocked to learn that working people from major companies were taking part. They were also surprised at the number of participants, saying, “Let’s clean up the town that we take care of every day! They learned how to be proactive and take ownership of everything they do.
By the end, they seemed to be convinced, “Ah, that’s why Japanese towns are so beautiful. Interaction with the local community is a special opportunity for international students to gain a deeper understanding of Japanese customs and feel a sense of unity with the local people.
