Organized by the Tohoku Tourism Promotion Organization, this specialized seminar is designed for educators and travel professionals planning educational trips (school excursions/study tours). Under the theme "Learning in Tohoku," the seminar presents the diverse educational values of the Tohoku region and Niigata Prefecture. It focuses on practical content such as disaster prevention/mitigation learning and SDGs-related inquiry-based programs that foster essential life skills.
This event offers a direct way to discover the rich "learning resources" of Tohoku and Niigata through two distinct sessions:
Representatives from the six prefectures of Tohoku and Niigata will present the latest educational programs. This includes guided tours by disaster survivors (storytellers) regarding disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as study tours centered on nature, culture, and history (e.g., Jomon culture at Sannai Maruyama, cultural heritage of Chuson-ji, or Tsugaru Shamisen experiences).
Following the presentations, a practical networking session will be held. The "Individual Consultation Session" allows school officials to discuss specific itineraries and program implementation with regional representatives. The "Business Matching Session" provides travel agencies with opportunities to build networks with local providers to adapt to changing markets, such as rising costs and inbound demand.
