CALL FOR STUDENT ESSAYS

As is implied by the popular terms like "internationalization", "internet era", "Planet Earth", etc., the 21st century will need more international understanding among the residents of this planet, especially among the present young people, who will be responsible for the next century.

In that line, we are CALLING FOR STUDENT ESSAY contributions to the "Young Voices of the World" forum both on the web site "The Young Voices of the World" and in the upcoming volume of the Kuzuryu Memoirs, which is a NON-COMMERCIAL, ACADEMIC collection of college student essays from Japan and other countries.
