The Final Presentation

Today each prefecture group presented to the entire Japan Fulbright group of teachers. I've mentioned this much earlier, but a prefecture is like a Japanese version of a state. The 200 teachers were divided up into groups of 20 and we visited 10 different prefectures around Japan. Each group designed their own presentation, and there were many similarities and differences in the things we saw and the experiences we had while staying in our host cities. My group stayed in the Fukuoka prefecture, in Yukuhashi City. We each took turns presenting a different part of our experience there. Here I am talking about our visit to Fukuoka University. I felt it was important to include this in our presentation because it was one place where we actively saw college students being trained to be teachers. I spoke about the art education program they have there which is very impressive.
