Fostering Ocean Conservation in Japan & US through Use of Multimedia & Cultural Exchange
Project Director: Kathleen Frith
$10,000
1) The participants would understand a variety of threats to the ocean and their consequences for human health and well-being; 2) By approaching this topic in Japanese-US pairs, participants would understand that these issues are global in scope, learn from each other's cultural and geographical perspectives, and foster positive relationships between US and Japan; 3) By using multimedia tools, participants would deepen their learning by finding ways to communicate ocean science to a larger audience, embracing both creativity and fact-based content, and be able to share their work with their community and online audiences.

2010 CGP/NAJAS Japan America Society Workshop
Project Director: Peter Kelley
$18,634
Of our 37 members, 7 are volunteer-only and 12 have two or fewer salaried staff. In 2009 a one-day workshop, targeted at smaller societies and emphasizing basic structural issues, was organized by CGP before the NAJAS annual meeting. The objective of the workshop was to help the smaller societies develop the skills to sustain themselves, grow in their host communities, and participate effectively in the NAJAS grassroots network. This workshop builds on last year's base by adding a focus on creating value in the community. Last year's participants will be invited, along with slightly larger societies to create a broader sharing of experiences.
