Pennsylvania Act 48 Continuing Education Workshops

Thinking Outside the Box - Japanese Obento Workshop
This full-day workshop is designed to introduce Japanese culture to K-12 educators through the life of a lunch box, "Obento."

It's a Wrap: Furoshiki Style!
On Earth Day 2009, 28 local educators completed three hours of lectures and hands-on demonstrations by JASP personnel about the furoshiki, Japan's ancient and now very trendy wrapping cloth.

     







  Japan Artifact Box

Designed to be easily accessible by any K-12 educators without special training in Japanese related topics, this program features a "Box" containing original cultural items from Japan, which is available through mail upon request. The Box also contains a description for each item as well as background information regarding its use. The Box can be borrowed for use by educators, librarians and community organizations for up to two weeks. Upon receiving the Box, educators are able to design their own lesson plans to teach about Japan by utilizing the original items and the self-explanatory pamphlet in the Box which works for all age groups.
