Virtual School Visit Program
2021/5/6
On May 6 the Embassy of Japan hosted a virtual lecture on the topic of Food and Culture as part of its online School Visit Program. Approximately 15 students from Cairine Wilson Secondary School attended the interactive lecture. Students learned about many aspects of Japanese food culture, including the broader contexts of history and geography. Throughout the event there was also a lively Q&A with the students.
The Embassy of Japan’s School Visit Program operates throughout the year and provides many Ottawa students the opportunity to learn about different subjects related to Japan. This program is usually offered in-person either at the Embassy of Japan or in classroom. However, for measures for COVID-19, it has been offered virtually via Zoom – you can find details of the program here.
