2010-2011 Study-Tour Program-Physical and Human Geography of Japan

I have been awarded a grant to participate in a study-tour for Educators this summer in Japan, sponsored by the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) program and funded by the Freeman Foundation.  This 2010-2011 Japan Study Tour Program entitled, Physical and Human Geography of Japan will take place from June 29th- July 21st.

The itinerary of the study tour includes visits to Sapporo, Tokyo, Kamakura, Hiroshima, and Kyoto and will include home stays, visits to schools and vistis to various cultural sites as well as a range of presentations on Japanese history and culture.

I hope all of you can join me as I travel throughout Japan on The 2010 NCTA Teachers Study Tour. Check out the blog as I share my journey through Japan. Don't forget I will also be hanging our 1,000 paper cranes when I arrive in Hiroshima. Read my blog and I'll share that moment with you all! And please post a comment! I'd love to hear from you!!
