Innovations in Civic Participation (ICP), the US-Japan Council (USJC), and the TOMODACHI Initiative would like to invite you to attend one of three workshops happening in Japan this July. The workshops are a part of the ICP-TOMODACHI Collegiate Civic Engagement and Social Entrepreneurship Program but are being independently organized by each of the universities. All share similar goals of encouraging students and faculty to take a more active role in their communities, building support for civic engagement initiatives at universities in Japan, and strengthening US-Japan relations.
