CULTURAL SEMINAR PROGRAM
The JICC offers Cultural Seminars for various school groups and educational associations. Cultural Seminars can be arranged on many different topics of interest to students or areas of study, although requests for talks on highly specialised fields may be referred to organisations with particlar expertise in that area.
Wherever possible the Cultural Officer works with teachers to establish the theme or focus of the students' work, consolidating prior study or acting as a catalyst for a new area. Students can try on the traditional yukata, tantalise their taste buds with 'fake food' , or explore the larger than life world of sumo wrestlers and sports-loving Japan.
It is most worthwhile bringing a group into the JICC as they can see many resources and have access to the vast array of material available. Often student groups will also visit nearby Japanese restaurants to enjoy a traditional Japanese meal.
All Cultural Seminars are held free of charge, but please be aware that they are popular and availability is limited. Cultural Seminars are held for a maximum of 1 hour per group.
If you are interested in booking a Cultural Seminar please complete the booking form below and either email, fax or post the completed form to the JICC office (contact details listed on the form).
On receiving your booking form, the Cultural Officer will be in contact with you to confirm your visit and to discuss the details of your Cultural Seminar in further depth. Further queries can be made by calling 03 9639 3277 or emailing meljapan@nexnet.net.au.
Thank you for your interest in the Cultural Seminar program.
MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM BOOKINGS
We would like to invite teachers to use our facilities to run their own cultural sessions during our office hours. We have numerous artifacts and videos which could be used to enhance a workshop / lesson giving students the opportunity to take students out of their usual learning environment and give them a fresh experience. Seating is limited and bookings for the room will need to be made in advance. Please contact the Cultural Officer to make arrangement.
