HIGHLIGHT of SUMMER 2008: UNIQUE JAPANESE and ENGLISH BILINGUAL SUMMER CAMP
BROUGHT BY JAPANESE TOP PRIVATE SCHOOL
慶應義塾ニューヨーク学院が、デジタルメディアクリエーションをテーマに、
ユニークなバイリンガルキャンプを主催:2008年夏のハイライト



 

"Japanese-English Bilingual Summer Camp 2008" is a digital media production workshop for junior high school students from Japan and the United States. The workshop will provide students a perfect environment, where through hands on experience, they learn the techniques of digital media production as a method of self expression while in a diverse environment with other students from different cultural backgrounds. It is a great intercultural experience for students who started to take Japanese lessons, who are interested in Japanese pop culture as well as Japanese tradition, or who would like to have something different and unique.  This is a sleep away camp on the beautiful campus in Westchester county, NY.

 

慶應義塾ニューヨーク学院「日米バイリンガル・サマーキャンプ2008」は、日米の中学生を対象とした映像制作ワークショップです。国境や言語の垣根を越えた映像制作を通し、異文化交流や仲間とのコミュニケーション、その表現方法や他者へ伝えるためのテクニックを実践的に学びます。またこのキャンプは英語やアメリカ文化、ニューヨークなどに興味のある若者にとっても、他では経験できない貴重な体験の場となることでしょう。プログラムでは語学クラス(日英)や文化背景を学ぶ時間もあります。参加者は自然の中の恵まれた環境のもと、キャンプを通じて異なる文化を体験する機会を得て、忘れられない夏の経験となるでしょう。
