Based on Suggestions from our 2010 Pilot Project on Exchanges with Japan and follow up with school and community groups, the Alberta/Japan Network will be one of the networks students will work on this summer see FACTSnet Summer Jobs 2011. With the Earthquake and Tsunami, we are looking at finding ways Albertans are helping and how schools and community groups can be involved.
Students have examined social media to see how people have helped each other in the wake of the Tsunami. As well, students became Conversation Partners in conjunction with the Hokkaido Teachers of English Program. Topics discussed were, Alberta/Japan Student Life, Japan Disaster Relief, Curriculum Studies, and Parent Involvement in Education.
In 2012, ideas include working with the Alberta Japan Twinned Municipalities Association at http://www.ajtma.com to create more personal works. As well, to perhaps work with the Edmonton Japan Community Association to create more local networks and cultural sharing, visit them at: http://www.ejca.com
