From 23 to 27 October 2023,  the Japanese Studies Program from the School of Social Sciences, in partnership with student organisations Hinomoto and Toushin, are hosting a series of activities that celebrate Japanese culture.

The theme this year is "mottainai," a Japanese phrase rooted in sustainability by finding use or value in what others might consider a waste.

During this week, we hope you can join us in discovering the different ways Japanese people practice sustainability in their everyday lives.

This event is open to students, alumni, and members of the Ateneo community.

For students of any Japanese class this semester, you can collect a prize from the Japanese Studies Program when you collect stamps by participating in many of the activities during JSP Week.

Simply download and print the stamp card on recycled paper. You can also get stamp cards from the JSP department. When you attend an activity, collect a stamp by presenting your stamp card to the teacher at the end of the activity. When you have completed at least six or  ten stamps, you may claim a prize from the Japanese Studies Program Office.
