The Keizai Koho Center (KKC), in cooperation with the National Association of Japan-America Societies (NAJAS), invites applications from US and Canadian social studies teachers for this fully funded, summer study program in Japan. The itinerary is mainly focused on Tokyo, and includes tours of major businesses and industrial facilities; meetings with business leaders, government officials, scholars, educators, and students; school visits; a home stay with a Japanese family; and cultural activities. To be eligible, applicants must be middle or high school social studies, economics, geography, or history teachers. Only applicants who have never lived in Japan or participated in a similar study tour will be considered. Fellowship recipients are required to develop a curricular project, and to disseminate information about the visit in their local communities.
