The 2023 High School Japanese Speech Contest returns!

Each year over 80 students participate. There are speech levels and a poster session. Students are required to write a speech on the chosen topic for the speech contest or make a presentation for the poster session.
"Those 4 Years" is an amazing journey into the lives of those Chinese who came to India around the middle of the 19th century… speaking a language unknown to their neighbours when they first arrived. The film journeys across three countries and reams of colonial office records to retrace the places those people came from, the means and mode of their arrival, and how many of them ended up making India their home.
