There are regional ETJ groups in many areas of Japan. Each group has one or two coordinators that represent the group on the national ETJ-coordinators list that decides ETJ policies.

 

Groups generally have workshops about once every two months on Sundays, and the workshops normally last about 2 1/2 hours. There is likely to be one or more short presentations followed by opportunities for members to exchange ideas. The emphasis is on grass-roots participation rather than listening to ideas presented by a well-known speaker. Regional groups are also fully involved in occasional special events that are held in the area such as the ETJ Expos.

 

Many regional groups also have an e-mail group for members in the area who would like to receive information about meetings by e-mail or have a chance to discuss local issues. ETJ members will only be put on local e-mail lists after filling in a form requesting this.
