The GTE Summer School, which has been running since 2015, is back after a three-year absence. About 150 students have participated so far, and those who have completed the program are now learning to improve their future not only in Japan but also in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Vietnam, Kenya, and other countries around the world.
I wonder if I will be able to work as a team with new people...” I am sure you are full of anxiety, “I am not confident in my English...” In fact, everyone was in the same situation at the beginning. The starting line is the same, so please feel free to join the GTE community!
