Report on the 8th Japanese Speech Contest for Foreigners Engaged in Nursing or Long-term Care

On November 2, 2019, the Japan Foundation co-hosted the 8th Japanese Speech Contest for Foreigners Engaged in Nursing or Long-term Care with the Association for Overseas Technical Cooperation and Sustainable Partnerships (AOTS). With a growing number of foreign-born nationals being accepted into Japan, this speech contest has been held annually since 2012 as a valuable opportunity to hear the experiences of non-Japanese people already working in the country. Speeches were delivered by 10 foreign nationals who passed the first-stage examination and are currently working at nursing or long-term care sites. They introduced daily anecdotes with patients and care receivers and offered recommendations to Japanese people.
