Japan in the 21st Century

The University of Pennsylvania Center for East Asian Studies and World Affairs Council of Philadelphia are pleased to announce that they will offer the ninth year in series of projects dedicated to helping teachers enhance their classroom teaching about Japan and Asia through seminars, summer study tours and curriculum development plans. Over 100 teachers have already participated. This project has been funded by the United States-Japan Foundation.

Japan in the 21st Century is intended to educate "beginners" about Japan and will offer a broad base of history and culture. Additionally, this project will have a new and compelling focus: participants will develop an understanding of 21st century Japan — the internationally important changes taking place in Japanese politics, economics and culture that Americans must understand to teach our next generation of citizens and leaders.
