 Lectures by Yumiko Mori, President of Pangaea

Yumi-Profile_w102.jpg Yumiko Mori, President of Pangaea gave a lecture on Monday August 22nd, at the training session for teachers organized by Tsu Municipal Board of Education.

There were following feedbacks from participating teachers:
"I was surprised that Pangaea is providing children with the space where they can actually communicate with each other. I knew the name Pangaea, but did not know specifically what the activity was about." "I will be able to utilize what I heard today to all children, not just the ones with foreign nationality. I would like to try Tako introduction at the beginning of the 2nd semester. Thank you so much." "I realized that the method is embodied when the goal is clear. I was impressed by the paradigm shift to analog at the age of digital, and was surprised by the creativities in detail and the quality of the contents. It was good that I could learn that the relationship with the people around you is important to foster international understanding in children." "I did not know what Pangaea was, although I introduced the activity to students in the 1st semester. As I could see the activity where children across the world bond, I felt that this is related not just to international understanding but to the teamwork in the classroom or in educating children with special needs. I would like to utilize my learnings in the 2nd semester."

She also gave lectures on Saturday August 6th at Future University Hakodate in Hokkaido and on Thursday July 21st at Meiji Gakuin University in Tokyo for the students in respective university.
