Meeting and Exchange

One of Hyogo Cultural Centre's most important roles is to facilitate personal contacts between West Australians and people from Hyogo and Japan. This involves establishing occasions for interaction with Perth's Japanese community and local people, and also assisting in educational, sporting, cultural, economic and private exchange between WA and Hyogo.

Hyogo Cultural Centre Supports Japanese Language Education!

After a series of fantastic seminars for Year 10 students and teachers of Japanese coordinated by the Department of Education, The Japan Foundation, AISWA, and CEO, Hyogo Cultural Centre will play host to another round of workshops this September. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and entertained by our dynamic presenters. A seminar for primary teachers will be held on Thursday, September 16 and for secondary teachers on Friday, September 17. Please contact the Centre for more details or to register your interest.

The new term of Japanese language classes offered through Challenger TAFE will commence on Saturday, August 7 in our office. Please contact 1300 300 252 or visit www.adulteducation.challenger.wa.edu.au for more information.
