“JENESYS Programme” (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths) is a student and youth exchange project designed to strengthen solidarity between East Asia and Southeast Asia through the promotion of mutual understanding among younger generations in the region.

During their visit, the Japanese students observed that Bruneians tend to be generous with food portions. While they appreciated the hospitality, they noted that this practice contributes to significant food waste as people often do not finish their meals. In response, they prepared a presentation on "Mottainai," which translates to "Don't waste what is valuable." This concept encourages taking reasonable food portions and making an effort to finish meals without waste. Something the JIS community can most definitely apply in their day-to-day!
