The seminar begins May 27 and ends September 2. Using the My Virtual Mission platform, participants will walk (both virtually and the distance in reality) from Edo (Tokyo) to Kyoto, stopping at ten required (and seven optional) milestones to complete readings, view webinars/videos, and respond to discussion prompts. 
This seminar is appropriate for those who are new to learning about Japan as well as those with previous knowledge and experience.

Notes:  Accommodations are available for those who choose not to walk. Details will be provided to accepted participants.

There is some freedom to progress at your own pace, but you must complete all ten required units by September 2. A sample Walking the Tōkaidō syllabus is available for download at www.fivecolleges.edu/walking-tokaido-curriculum; you will receive a syllabus specifically for the summer 2024 seminar in mid May.

In addition to receiving access to the My Virtual Mission route and the seventeen milestone e-mails you will also receive a free set of the required seminar books. You will have access to supplementary materials on the seminar Moodle, where you will also respond to the discussion prompts for each of the milestones. Participants who complete all the requirements will receive a certificate of completion for 40 contact hours and a $150 completion stipend. Participants who complete all of the requirements by Sept. 2 will be entered into a drawing for a Tokaido souvenir from Japan!

If you do not complete the seminar, you must either return or pay for the books (est. $125). Limited to 20 in-service K-12 teachers.

Please e-mail fcceas@fivecolleges.edu if you have any questions.
