Feedback from some current IJA members

"I studied Japanese at University in Ireland. I decided to join the IJA to meet Japanese businesses in Ireland, who can some day think of hiring me!"

"アイルランド人の友人を作りたい人、日本の文化を共有したい人、日本関係のつながりをキープしたい人に最適なグループだと思います"

" IJAは、『アイルランド人の友人を作りたい』『日本の文化を共有したい』『日本関係のつながりをキープしたい』という日本人にとって最適なグループだと思います"

"My interest in Japan started young, even though I have never managed to visit. I enjoy the cultural and social events that the IJA organize particularly the Sushi and Calligraphy classes."

"If you want to learn more about Japan's culture, the IJA provides many interesting events that enable you to interact with Japanese people living in Ireland."

"My family moved back to Ireland, from Japan, a few years ago. Like many, we didn't want to lose our Japanese way of living. By joining the IJA, we have been able to continue enjoying Japanese culture by attending the family friendly events on a regular basis. We have met some great friends along the way too."

"日本の文化や社会をIJAのイベントを通じてアイルランド人の会員と共有することで、自分自身が日本をよりよく理解することができるようになりました"

"こじんまりとしたアイルランドにおける「愛日社会」の人たちとの交流はアイルランド生活を楽しむために貴重だと思います

"I participated in the JET Programme and after coming back to Ireland I joined the IJA to retain my connections with Japan and participate in the social events that take place with the Japanese community here in Ireland".

"I am interested in doing business in Japan but am at the early stages of development. I joined as an individual member to gain networking and business opportunities. So far, I have learned a lot about the culture and etiquette of Japanese people, crucial to anyone thinking of breaking into this market."

"I used to teach in Japan but am now back in Ireland. The IJA provides great opportunities for people like me to keep in touch with the Japanese community, both socially and academically".
