【HelloWorld Recruitment】 Become an MC for Cultural Exchange Programs in Okinawa! 🎤🌺
Hi! This is HelloWorld’s Operation Team.
About HelloWorld Inc.
HelloWorld Inc. is a startup company from Okinawa that promotes cultural exchange and language learning programs in Japan, and all over the world.
In our daytime in-person program, Machinaka ENGLISH QUEST (aka MachiQue), students interact with English Speakers by introducing themselves and exchanging ideas in a fun, scavenger-hunt style game! Whereas in our homestay program, the Machinaka Cultural Exchange Program, students have a first-hand experience of living abroad by staying with a foreign family in Japan.
So far, our programs have been held all over Japan, from Hokkaido to Okinawa, and have positively impacted over 35,000 students. And we believe that connecting Japanese students and HelloWorld's English Speakers and Host families will lead to a deeper mutual understanding.
