Keizai Koho Fellowship Tour
Since 1980, the Keizai Koho Center (Japan Institute for Social and Economic Affairs) in cooperation with the National Association of Japan-America Societies (NAJAS) has sponsored a Fellowship tour to Japan for educators in the U.S. and Canada. The Fellowship allows teachers to learn first hand about contemporary Japanese society and enhance their classroom teaching of global perspectives. Highlights of the fellowship include visits to Japanese schools, major companies, and industrial facilities. In addition, sightseeing excursions are planned to allow the fellows to learn about Japanese culture and society. The 2011 brochure will be available in the Fall 2010. Please reference the brochure for application procedures and guidelines. The application deadline is February 11, 2011.
For the last five years, our office at the Japan America Society of Pennsylvania has administered the Keizai Koho Center Fellowship by coordinating the program's public relations, selection, orientation, alumni communication and activities.
