As part of the Japan Foundation’s London’s support for links between Japan and Scotland, we will embark on a trip to Japan for 20 Scottish Leaders in Education. The trip will take place from 10th February – 18th February 2017 and will give participants the chance to learn more about Japan and the Japanese education system.

We hope the programme will help deepen the participants’ understanding of Japan. It involves visiting three areas, Tokyo, Kamaishi City in Iwate Prefecture as well as Kyoto. The trip will include a wide range of activities, including lectures about the relationship between Scotland and Japan, discussions to facilitate cultural exchange with Japanese educational leaders, school visits, a visit to the area struck by The Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, as well as cultural experiences in Kyoto.

The participants are listed in the file below.
