Published on Aug 09, 2019
As a result of an intense screening, successful projects to support the 2019 Essayer activities were determined on 25 June, 2019.
◆What are the Essayer activities?
The Essayer activities started in 2017 in collaboration with Osaka City University (OCU) and OCU Education Supporters Association as a project to support students’ voluntary activities. Targeted activities are the ones to enhance activities such as community service activities, volunteer activities and OSAKA-KANSAI JAPAN EXPO 2025. Nine projects were selected this year. Their future activities are expected.
Essayer is a combination of “Essayer”, a French word meaning “try” and an Osakan shout for encouragement.
