The Japanese American Museum of San Jose (JAMsj) is hosting "Tohoku Update 2015: The Next Generation" to share what three groups of high school students in Tohoku have been doing to help their hometowns recover from the devastation of the 2011 disaster. With help from high school students in California, the Tohoku students have been working on projects to bring back tourism to the Tohoku region.

The projects have involved an exchange in history, culture, and language between the Japanese and American students. The three different gr oups will each share their message in a short presentation. We will then have live, one-on-one Skype video calls with the students from the Tohoku region, followed by a Q&A session. This will give participants a chance to interact with and hear what the Tohoku students are doing to make a difference in their hometowns.

There is no cost for this event.

By invitation. For more information, contact PublicPrograms@JAMsj.org.
