Calligraphy Class

CJCC organized “Japanese Calligraphy Class” on August 25, 2012 at Phnom Penh-Tokyo Room (09) from 9:00 to 11:00am. The class was lectured by Mr. Kato Shitaro, a Japanese Expert from KODA Town in Japan.

Calligraphy is the art of writing pictog-raphy characters with an ink-drenched brush and a focus mind. It is used in some special occasions such as writing New Year’s card or writing one’s name on special celebratory or condolence.

Actually, there are numerous styles and methods of calligraphy. First, you have to select a pen, a nib, a brush, ink, a guide sheet, and paper. Then you have to dip the brush (if you select brush for copperplate script) into the ink until the hole of the nib is nearly covered. Next, tap the nib on the rim of the pot, then make a few strokes on scrap paper to eliminate any excess ink, and make sure that you use enough ink to make solid lines. When the nib begins to scratch the paper, it’s time to re-dip your brush.

“Tanabata” (Star Festival)

TANABATA is also known as “Star Festival” originated from China, and is celebrated every year on 7 July in Japan in order to have their wishes granted, and to recall a story of a lover in the Heaven Weaver Princess and a Cowboy who are allowed to meet once per year.

One popular Tanabata custom is to write one’s wishes on pieces of papers, and hang those pieces of papers on the special bamboo tree in the hope that the wishes come true.

Having seen these good practices, I can’t wait to bring it back home and adopt it to my own business, the Monorom Health and Spa. I wanted to apply the 5S and PDCA in my company and I knew the first thing I need to make it happened is to communicate with my staff and have them understood about these business principles. In applying these business models, I had developed the roll-out plan and gradually implemented some of the key tasks. Although it is still in the trial period, I committed to sustain the practice and I expected this change would produce positive results to my business.

Last I would like to express my sincere thanks to JENESYS, JICE, and CJCC for organizing such a useful exchange program, where it enabled an eye-opening opportunity for the young Cambodian business people to see a different side of the world. Thus, it enabled us to bring positive changes for development from seeing good practices of business operations and management in the modern society.”

Comments from participants

Mr. Sok Chantha: “This JENESYS Program is a very interesting and useful oversea exchange program. Participating in thisprogram brings me more understanding and knowledge on business management in Japanese companies as well as Japanese manner in business and personal relations. I will use the knowledge to improve myself, my team, my company as well as my beloved country.”

Mr. Keo Reasmey: “Joining CJCC training is one of my options to achieve my life goal as a businessman; this is what I have expected before all subjects started. After all courses completed I have a chance to visit Japan where I can learn and see real practice of theory that I have learned at CJCC. JENESYS program gives me a chance to understand deeply about Japanese management style and business manner of Japanese company. What makes me unforgettable is a sentence written on front board of a restaurant “The manager will guide you to the table” this sentence awakes and tells me about role should be applied in real business activity.

Mr. Eng Lykhoing: “Having had the business tours in TERUMO and LOTTE, I was grateful that I had observed and learned about the real application of several well-known business management models such as the Japanese 5S, PDCA, Ho-Ren-So, and QCD. I witnessed that the management style of Japanese business entities mainly focus on high standard, quality assurance, result base, cost control, attention to detail and customer orientation. On top of this, I believed another key success factor to their business management is the assurance of quality and accurate communication flow across the organization. I noticed the management of the corporation paid high attention in ensuring that any message communicated to staff was well-received, clear and conformed from top to bottom.

Ms. Chap Chamroeunkunkoet: “I would like to thanks to CJCC, JICE (JENESYS program) and all supporters and organizers who organized a very useful program for young entrepreneurs including me to learn how Japanese Companies make their business become successful. For example, “5S” system is used in Japanese Companies to make efficiency and effectiveness in working place, also honesty and trust that they give to their clients through patience and responsibility, etc.I would highly recommend this program to other young entrepreneurs to attend if it exists again in the future.”

I hope CJCC will organize such activity to improve young Cambodia entrepreneurs in order to betterment his/her company.”

This event was conducted at CJCC Lobby from 9:00 to 11:00am in order to provide general knowledge to Cam-bodian people related to Japanese cul-ture through Origami and Kirigami.

Some sweets and Green Tea(hot/cold) were served during two hours with approximately 200 participants. Most of them spent their time to listen the Tanabata/Tep Sodachan story, to learn how to fold and cut color pa-pers into different shapes such as the star, heart, lantern, and so on. After that, they wrote their wishes on a staple called “Tan-zuku”, which was used to hang on or deco-rate Bamboo tree by attaching with Origami or Kirigami papers called “SASA KAZARI”.

More exciting and interesting events will be conducted by Exchange Program of CJCC in the near future to strengthen the relationship between Cambodia and Japan as well as to give opportunity to the pub-lic to learn more about the differences be-tween Cambodian and Japanese culture.

“ IKEBANA” (Flower Arrangement)

On 21 July, 2012 from 9:00 to 10:30am at Siem Reap-Kyoto Room (08) , CJCC or-ganized “IKEBANA”, Flower Arrange-ment, conducted by Ms. Megumi Kojima, Japanese authorized trainer of “SOGET-SU”, the biggest Ikebana School in Japan. IKEBANA is the Japanese art of flower ar-rangement. It is more than simply putting flowers in a container. It is a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a liv-ing thing where nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the phi-losophy of developing closeness with nature.

During one hour and half, 11 participants learned the instruction of flower arrange-ment from the expert; also learned to dec-orate the flowers by themselves. After the class, as a memory, some of students wrote the names on their own flower arrangement and left on the table in CJCC lobby that everyone can have a look and take photo.

Business Short Course on “ Mastering Your Negotiation Skills”

On 4-5 July 2012, CJCC invited Mr. Win-ston Scholsberg, the Founder and Owner of Goals Academy, Netherlands, to lecture on “Mastering Your Negotiation Skill” at Phnom Penh-Tokyo Room (09). Mr. Winston ex-plained that some might say the best way to negotiate is to have many styles from which to choose. That might be true or false. His talk covered a wide range of topics including:

• How your non-verbal communication effects your work or environment• How to deal with conflicting emotions while negotiating• How to create a win-win situation at the time• How to negotiate and cooperate effectively• How to communicate in a convincing way• How to present your own success story• How to successfully lead the conversations you have • How to ask questions effectively

Forty (40) participants attended this interactive course. They said that the course offered them more tips to increase the quality of negotiation skills as well as implement innovative ways to create possibilities as a good negotiator. Fur-thermore, it would help them to understand body language, message sent to audiences, listening skill, and what personal negotiation style is.

Moreover, they were very satisfied with the course because it was a very productive lec-tured by a very experienced lecturer; especially it was well-organized with good contents and clear explanation. In addition, the participants also commented that the teaching methodology and examples provided by the lecturer were very good and interesting. In the future they would recommend this course to their friends as well.

JICA-NET Seminar “ Who is Your Customer?”

To response to the need of customers, the 7th JICA-Net training seminar on “Who is Customer” was held on August 1, 2012 at CJCC Angkor-Kizuna Hall, presented by Mr. Do Huu Anh, Deputy General Direc-tor, DHL – VNPT Express Ltd in Vietnam.

JICA-NET is a distant learning series through TV conference. In this conference 3 countries, Cambodia, Vietnam and Lao were requested to join together by JICA headquarter in Japan.

The seminar covered the following contents:• Who Is Customer?• Why Customers Leave Us?• Gain Back Our Customers• Deal with Difficult Customers• Functions of Management

Although the program was conducted on weekday in the evening time, it attracted 137 participants, the highest number com-pared to the other two centers in Vietnam and Laos. Participants from different back-ground joined the seminar, but mainly from private sector (approximately 90%), and 10% from civil societies and universities.

The JICA-NET training seminar is conducted in the purpose of strengthening and under-standing various topics between neighbor countries. It is a very good chance because you do not need to travel across the country but you can learn from other countries face to face through video conference. It saves your time, money and help you to gain knowledge.

Participants were satisfied with the class and wish to explore more about Japanese culture such as cooking class, Origami (Japanese Folding Paper), Calligraphy Class, and so on.

Impression of Student Who Is Studying Japanese Language at CJCC

Hello everyone! My name is SEA LIHOUNG. I am a 2nd year student in Social Work at Royal University of Phnom Penh and a student studying Japanese language at CJCC.

I choose to study Japanese because I want to build a good relationship with Japanese people and learn about Japanese culture. especially I want to pursue a higher degree in Japan. During studying at CJCC, I have gained a lot of benefits through its quality of study program and other provided activities.

Starting from the Japanese class, I have studied with well-educated and experienced teachers who have clear plans and various methods in teaching. Moreover, they always encourage students to study hard without giving up easily though some people said Japanese language is difficult to learn.

Besides studying in the class, I have also joined several activities such as Japanese chat talk, Japanese movie shows, and other cultural exchange programs.

Those activities provided me such a great time to practice speaking Japanese and understand well about some parts of Japanese culture. What is more, I love studying in CJCC library. There are a lot of books and documents in Japanese, Khmer, and English. It also has audiovisual documents and other useful information sources related to Japan that help students expand their knowledge and develop self-study skills.

I am delighted and satisfied with studying at CJCC since I can develop my Japanese proficiency in just a short-term. In addition, I feel confident to participate in one year exchange program in Japan through my university in the near future because I have a good preparation in both language and culture provided by CJCC. Finally, I am also proud of myself to be one of the good students here. CJCC is my great starting point for the long journey toward my dream in academic life.

World Youth Meeting 2012, Nihon Fukushi University

The opportunity to meet people across Asia is very rare. The World Youth Meeting makes this possible. This event took place at Nihon Fukushi University, Japan, on 7th and 8th August 2012. Connecting and sharing across culture with one another was the biggest achievement of the event. What’s more 2012 World Youth Meeting taught international students to collaborate where there is controversial, to be a great presenter, and to live in intercultural environment.

Students also had chance to explore Japanese culture through homestay, seminar house and Japanese inn that display a vivid living environment in Japan. Students were able to see things which are totally different from their countries.

One student, Mr. YOU Ratanaksamrith who is a current CJCC student was dispatched by CJCC to join this program in Japan. He stated that “On the World Youth Meeting days, the event was really well-prepared. It was a jaw-dropping event. Personally, I felt very excited to see very big stage and audiences. It was great and more than my expectation. What made the event better is the presentation made by students from various high schools and universities on the annual theme. Everyone could learn many things from the presentations which cannot be taught in class. Each groups made interesting and very informative presentations. During the event I made a lot of friends.
