Join JLGC for the Japan Day Seminar: Local Links Conference which will be held on Friday March 4 2011 at the Corn Exchange, Rochester in Kent. Featuring presentations from British local authorities and Anglo-Japanese organisations, the event will focus on how local bodies have been able to use their international partnerships with counterparts in Japan in new ways to adapt to the current financial climate.
Featuring presentations from Professor Marie Conte-Helm of the Daiwa Foundation, Creativesheffield and representatives from Aberdeen, Derbyshire and Medway, the seminar will introduce case studies of Japan-UK links which have been changing the way international partnerships are being approached by councils, including both economic and citizens’ group-led exchanges.
The Japan Day Seminar is an annual event hosted by the Japan Local Government Centre in partnership with a UK host city, the aim of which is to provide an opportunity for participants to exchange information and ideas at an international level. For more information, please see our event's page.
