Guest Speaker
Thu, Feb 15th 2024 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Guest speaker is Rian, a Rotary Scholar from Japan currently studying in Edinburgh. She will be joining our meeting by Zoom to tell us about her time in Scotland and why she chose to sturdy here.
The Rotary Foundation offers scholarship funding through the Rotary Foundation Global Grants for graduate-level coursework or research in a subject covered by one of Rotary's seven areas of focus.
Rian Matsui
Rian Matsui, 23, is from Japan.
She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Comparative Education and International Development at the University of Edinburgh.
Back in Japan, she worked with refugees, immigrants and ethnic minorities through volunteering in NGOs, and working as a member/ research assistant for her university’s refugee support group.
She has witnessed so many incredible people with strong passion and amazing skills feeling powerless just because of their background/ status. Therefore, she is looking into the role education plays in empowering these people as well as measures to ensure that ethnic minorities and refugees are able to utilise their background and experience and become an important part of the society.
