Educators participating in JSSF should join this forum while their students are taking part in the Science Discussion event. It will be a time to learn about the wonderful practices of each school. Educators from Japanese schools other than JSSF participating schools will also participate. Although the lectures from each school will be conducted in English, we are planning to provide simultaneous interpretation, allowing attendees to listen in Japanese.
