Today was our final day of the joint conference. This morning we all
presented our work from the past few days and the ideas we have going forward to build collaborate projects and communication between the United States and Japan regarding ESD. It is sad
saying goodbye today as this was the conclusion of our journey as a
whole group. All of us educators from the U.S. have gotten to know the
Japanese teachers very well from our time with them in San Francisco and
Tokyo. They are an amazing group of educators that are passionate about
students and learning. It is also sad to be saying goodbye to my
colleagues from the United States. When I met them in San Francisco I
knew they would be great partners for the experience in Japan. We traveled and worked together for the entire two weeks. All of the participants in the Japan-US Teacher exchange are some of the most innovative, creative and interesting people I have me and they have also become good
friends. I will miss everyone very much.
Pictures from the final meeting today.
June Ubukata (above) is the Director, General Affairs for the Japan U.S. Educational Commission (Fulbright Japan). She traveled with us during entire program and has been our liaison every step of the way. She made this experience memorable for all of us and I cannot thank her enough. All of us have made many new friends in Japan but June has been especially wonderful to us.
Here are two other amazing gentlemen that have been with us from day 1 in San Francisco. Kenji Matsui on the left and Masaaki Hatagami on the right have been our translators for our entire journey. I have worked with translators before and they are some of the best. They never left our side and the success of this trip would not have been possible without them.
Pictured above from left to right are Saeko Fujimoto, Yuriko Yoneshima, Hiromi Fumoto, and Seigo Saito our new friends from ACCU the Asian Pacific Cultural Center. Their organization has been great. They have done many of the behind the scenes arrangements for us and have been right there for everything we needed.
Now time for some more independent research!
