These events are meant for:
-soon-to-depart JET (leaving 2016), or the family member of one
-JET alumni
The JETAA Pre-Departure Meetups organised by the JET Alumni Association of the UK are separate and very different from the one run by the Embassy of Japan. They are optional and meant to facilitate discussion on (almost) any aspect of the JET experience: from preparation and expectations, issues you may encounter, making the most of the experience, being family of a JET, and the options available to you after JET (like JETAA!).
They are casual meetups, usually over food/drink. Everything discussed is held privately within the JET alumni family. So please come to any/all of these events. We also recommend registering on:
www.jetaa.org.ukThe portal for JET Alumni in the UK, covering news, events, and jobs for alumni and anyone interested in Japan
