On December 5, 2024, AEON 1% Club Foundation marked a significant milestone by organizing the first-ever AEON Japanese Speech Contest in Cambodia held at AEON Mall Sen Sok City. There are five students, who are studying Japanese language, have been selected from two universities – one from the Department of Japanese Language and another from Royal University of Law and Economics (RULE).
This remarkable Japanese Speech Contest, one of the programs under AEON Scholarship Program, has been organized in China since 2015. Until today, this Speech Contest Program has been expanded into many Asian countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and this year in Cambodia. This program aims to promote the aspiration university students who dreams the messenger of culture exchange between Japanese and their home countries. It also plays an active role to exchange culture in the world in the future. Another core objective of this contest is also promoted mutual understanding between nations and reinforcing friendship among nations.
Through this competition, we have selected two winners among five students. The two winners, No. 1 and No. 2, will have a chance to go to Japan to join the internation speech in February next year.
