Bildungsurlaub in Japan
April 09, 2025by: Altan Demirci - TurkeyProgram: Bildungsurlaub (Germany)This was my first time taking Bildungsurlaub and also coming to Japan. So I was very excited about combining these two experiences together. I came across Meiji as it was the only school that offered educational leave for my German state I am employed (Rheinland-Pfalz). The staff took a lot of time guiding me through the whole process and organized me my housing in a great student dorm. The program itself was very intense but rewarding. I decided to do after the two weeks studies an additional week of relaxing and joining a few modules from Meiji (Traditional Culture and Pop Culture). The students were very international with most coming from Europe and America. I think it is a great place to spend your time studying the language and culture. Thank you for all the help.
1 Week Bildungsurlaub in my new favorite city
April 08, 2025by: Luka Krajnc - SloveniaProgram: Bildungsurlaub (Germany)It wasn't my first time in Japan. It was already the fourth time I went, but first time up north in Sapporo. As I was eligible to do Bildungsurlaub even though my citizenship is not German, I was glad to have had this opportunity to combine it with a Japan excursion. Meiji helped me sort out all my paperwork to get approved for Berlin Bildungsurlaub leave and the program was also very well structured. The thing I do have to say, don't do 1 week! Go for the 2-week Bildungsurlaub leave. My time was great but it can get very busy and quite hectic for the short period I was there. Nevertheless I felt in love with Hokkaido and especially Sapporo. I will be back next time here again. Thanks for all Meiji and hope to see all teachers and Nakamura-sensei again!
4 Weeks in lovely Hokkaido
April 08, 2025by: Linn Chalker - AustraliaProgram: Meiji Academy - Winter Course in HokkaidoMy time with Meiji in Hokkaido was simply amazing. I loved every one of my teachers except of the one who teased me with Kanji practice :-P Jokes byside everybody were lovely and caring. The events were plenty and Winter is the best season to make the most out of your time in Japan. I learnt a lot and this first Japan trip turned out so much fun. Will be back for the Summer!
