Do your students have an interest in Japanese culture? Would you like to hold programmes for cross-cultural understanding at your school?

A professional team from the University of Edinburgh and the Japan Foundation, London can visit your school to deliver fun Japanese language and culture sessions for your students. Teachers who wish to host a visit are encouraged to apply! It is free to apply for sessions at your school.

Overview

(1) Period: Monday, 2 June, 2025 – Saturday, 7 June, 2025

*Please note that we are happy to hold sessions on Saturday.

(2) Location: Your school (different venue negotiable)

(3) Content: Japanese language and culture sessions lasting 45 to 90 minutes

*Mainly aimed at students who have never studied Japanese, but it is also alright if there are participating students who have studied Japanese before.

(4) Aims: This program aims to expand students' perspectives on other languages and cultures by offering them an opportunity to experience Japanese language and culture. This programme is for schools in Scotland, where there are fewer opportunities to experience Japanese culture.

(5) Costs: There are no costs for the schools. The program is free as your school will not need to cover honoraria or transportation costs for the session/s, or any other actual costs (for example, if origami paper is used in a session, the origami paper will be arranged and provided by the organisers).
