Clothing<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

What kind of clothing should I bring?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In general, casual clothing is fine for classes. However, there will be a few times that you will need to dress more formally. Men typically will wear a shirt, tie and jacket and slacks and women, a skirt (or long slacks) a blouse, and jacket. Please bring an apron for the practical food preparation activities.<\/p>\n

Guidelines:<\/p>\n

Event 1: \u00a0Opening and Orientation at the Faculty of Agriculture
(semi-casual)<\/p>\n

Event 2 Business Plan Presentation
(formal)<\/p>\n

Closing Ceremony\/Wrap up Dinner
(formal)<\/p>\n

On other days, comfortable casual clothing. Please keep in mind that in Japan is a family conservative country, so casual; wear would be “polo type shirts”, open neck collar shirts, etc., with trousers, slacks skirts, or similar.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At JICA in Yokohama, you will probably need both formal and semi-casual clothing.<\/p>\n
