What we hope to achieve through EID
- Participants (children) are able to understand that English is not just a subject but also one of the tools for communication and that anyone can use it.
- Participants gain confidence in expressing themselves in English as a second language and feel motivated to continue to study further with a clear purpose in mind.
- Observers (parents & instructors) too are able to acknowledge the above viewpoints and change the stereotypical thinking that the English language belongs only to native speakers.

- Work together with EID Group Leaders from diverse cultural backgrounds.

- Receive an appreciation (thank-you) fee of ¥12,000 (inclusive trainings and EID day fees).
- Transportation fees will be reimbursed separately.
- This is not a part-time job but a paid volunteer event.
