The Japan-U.S. Teacher Exchange Program for Education for Sustainable Development will provide 24 U.S. teachers and administrators with the opportunity to travel to Japan, and 24 Japanese educators to travel the U.S., to learn about ESD efforts and strengthen ESD curricula in both countries. ESD is "a vision of education that seeks to balance human and economic well-being with cultural traditions and respect for the earth’s natural resources," according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). 

 

The 24 teachers from Japan will travel to the U.S. in late April and the 24 teachers from the U.S. will travel to Japan in late June.

 

The Japan-U.S. Teacher Exchange Program for ESD is administered by Fulbright Japan and jointly funded by the Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau of the U.S. Department of State and the Japanese Government’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
