Day 7: Farewell JENESYS 2.0

June 2, Koto Cultural Center - It is our last day in Japan and our programme is about to end. It is the time to share and to show other delegates our experiences in each of our prefecture for the past three days.Our Chiba prefecture group is further subdivided into four smaller groups so the sharing would be easier. We first prepared and summarized all our experiences, realization, and learning for our stay in each prefecture. We then brainstorm on how will we present our ideas into a vision board. We decided to make a report based on the land and the sea since Tateyama is a city where the land and the sea meets. We then made a collage and draw on a big white paper our ideas using the brochures, maps, and other materials that we have collected during our stay in Tateyama.

After we have done our vision boards, we then have our lunch together by group. We then gathered in the auditorium to prepare for each prefectures presentation. After all the prefecture group has presented, we all then have our farewell dinner in TKP Garden City. The time has already come. The time when everyone bid good bye and tears come out from our eyes. It has been seven days since we all arrived in Japan, but it feels like we have just arrived yesterday. It was the saddest part of the event since we will all go different ways after and still unsure if our paths will ever meet up in the future. I am sure every one left the hall with teary eyes. Before we all went back to our hotel, we got to dance once again our group theme song, Koisuru Fortune Cookie, the song that will always remind us of our experiences in Japan. 

さよなら JENESYS 2.0! またね Jenesysts! 

(Farewell JENESYS 2.0! See you Jenesysts!)
