14 students chosen as representatives from the intermediate and advanced classes competed to show the results of their hard work. The student who gave speeches this time were from 10 different countries and regions! This was the largest number of participants in the history of the YIEA speech contest. The discussion of Japan from the perspective of many different cultures, as well as the dance performance by student volunteers, drew a big round of applause from the audience. For all beginners, we look forward to you becoming the representative class next year and let us hear your speech!
