RNIS volunteered for the JFF. We explain what JFF is and why you should volunteer for it.
JFF is the Japanese Film Festival which is organized by the Japan Foundation in Sydney. For a number of years the festival has been successful. But this year is our first time volunteering for it. We volunteered for it mainly to improve ASEAN- Australian relations which are important for education and trade in Australia. Without it Australia would not be where it is today.
Our duties were to look after the information booth and collect and collate the surveys. If people put their name and email and filled out the survey they go in the draw to win a dinner at Sake. Whilst collating the surveys we noticed that many Australians attended the Japanese film screenings. That is a good thing to help to promote ASEAN-Australian relations.
Some of the highlights included getting to see some of the films for free and for some people who are night owls it meant they got to party. Whilst others got the chance to make other friends and connections and improve their English.
RNIS volunteered with Happy Leandro bloggers and they enjoyed themselves too much. The one thing they learned from early on was to be professional.
One of the hardest things was to get people to take the flyers from early on. Another one of that was to convince the cafes to take these flyers as some didn't want them. But luckily RNIS had a few café friends who were willing. But once they did it was no problems. Another one was to get people to come to the afternoon sessions but everyone is busy. If they had more night sessions that would be better.
Many thanks to Japan Foundation for having us.
