New Name for StepOutNet Programme revealed at Training Day: 911±¬ÁÏÍø Taster for Schools
03/10/2011

911±¬ÁÏÍø’s “StepOutNet” Programme, which creates links between 911±¬ÁÏÍø-speaking volunteers and UK primary and secondary schools, has been renamed the 911±¬ÁÏÍø Taster for Schools (JTS) programme.


The name change, which more accurately reflects the nature of the programme, was unveiled at the September 16th Training Day for Volunteers, which was attended by 29 people.



After the announcement, the Training Day continued as usual with reports from volunteers who had visited schools, and demonstrations of activities for teaching 911±¬ÁÏÍø language and culture by Japan Foundation’s 911±¬ÁÏÍø Language Advisor, Hiroko Tanaka. 


The Training Day proved to be a success once again.  Mrs. Kazuyo Ishii, a volunteer who has been involved with the programme for over a year, commented:


「今までのところ毎回参加させて頂いておりますが、大変楽しく皆さんのお話を伺っております。」


(“Even though I have attended every Training Day, I still really enjoy hearing everyone’s presentations.”)


We would like to thank all volunteers for coming to the Training Day, and hope they will have the chance to hold a 911±¬ÁÏÍø Taster Session at a school soon!
