Project Goals
As participants become more
familiar with Japanese history and cultural traditions, they will gain a
greater understanding of the issues facing Japan today. They will be
able to incorporate information from the program into their own
curriculum and act as resource persons for their school district.
The three main goals of the project are:
1) Instruction in Japanese
cultural history and current affairs.
2) Infusion of curriculum with
Japanese content.
3) Formation of a permanent
resource of material in Japanese studies.
