Mr. Scott Masters has been awarded a study grant to take part in the Peace & Reconciliation Study Tour, sponsored by ALPHA Education
Educators from all over the world have joined this life-changing journey from visiting historical sites and museums to meeting with experts, educators, curators, and survivors. Through stories and personal reflections, educators have been able to bring a more humanized perspective to issues related to WWII in Asia back into the classroom.
The 2017 Peace and Reconciliation Asia Study Tour takes place from July 14-27, 2017. It is a two-week immersion program in the history of WWII in Asia, focusing on the atrocities experienced by the Chinese and Koreans. Participants will visit Shanghai, Quzhou, Nanjing, Beijing, Harbin, and Seoul, South Korea.
The 16 participants this summer are from the U.S., Canada and Hong Kong, and cover the following professions: teachers/educators, film makers, historians & researchers, lawyers, community leaders, and activists.
