Japan Through the Senses
In November 2011, THEN/HiER funds were secured to hire a contractor to revise the Japan Through the Senses education kit into an engaging and relevant teaching resource that will enhance the teaching and learning about Japanese Canadian history. Education kits bring the museum into the classroom by providing teachers with a collection of “artefacts” – photographs, documents, audio-visual materials and other resources. A unique aspect of these education kits is that they share stories from the past that are not easily accessible to classroom teachers. As such, they effectively bring together teachers, students, museums and archives.
