The support group called Sydney Survival was launched in late March, after the border closure was announced.


Tomoko Sakaida, a Sydney-based language school manager, and Yuki Samoto, a Japanese student, started a support group for Japanese students who decided to stay in Australia and face difficulties.

In the audio, Tomoko explained how the group, Sydney Survival (https://www.instagram.com/sydneysurvival2020/), was launched and Yuki tells us what he learnt from getting involved in it.
