4. REPORT ON TEACHERS WORKSHOP |
This year, we saw a great increase in the number of participants, and a mix of teachers and the general public. Participants enjoyed the seminars, and they were able to engage in active discussions with university professors, field specialist, and consulate officials. The program featured hands-on opportunities to take part in cultural activities such as flower arrangement and the Japanese tea ceremony. The participants truly enjoyed the workshops. Some of their reactions:
- The workshop was so well rounded and
covered so many aspects of Japan. Overall, it
was exciting and interesting, and I think all
educators should attend this course!
- Roy Baron, High School teacher - The workshop has offered me with a wide
cross-section of knowledge about Japan. It has
made me develop such an appreciation for Japan
and its people. I will never forget this
experience, and definitely recommend it to
others.
- 1st grade teacher - The course definitely made me wonder if I
ought to go to Japan for a while to live,
teach and learn more.
- Paisley Davidson, 2nd grade teacher - Great workshop! It's really interesting to
learn about Japanese Culture.
- High school teacher - Enriching experience to many aspects of
Japan!
