This event is organised for Japanese language teachers who teach Japanese as a modern foreign language or as a heritage language to primary school aged-pupils in the UK and Ireland.

In today’s modern, diverse society, there is an emphasis on citizenship education. This time, participants will have an opportunity to take part in activities inspired by Nihongo x Citizenship Education and then exchange thoughts and ideas about Japanese language education for primary school pupils.  The activities introduced are based on improvisational games. Teachers can choose to participate face-to-face participation or online, with all teachers getting to experience the same activities.

We are looking forward to your participation!
