DESCRIPTION:The Nikkei National Museum &amp\; Cultural Centre (NNMCC) is pl
 eased to  launch a new teaching tool on Japanese Canadian History which wi
 ll bring  authentic voices and experiences into the classroom.\n &nbsp\;\n
  <strong>TAIKEN </strong> 体験 translates as personal experiences. The<s
 trong> Taiken Outreach Program</strong> is an exciting expansion of our ex
 isting education programs\, bringing a  new teaching resource that covers 
 the Japanese Canadian internment  experience into the heart of the classro
 om. It consists of 13 short  video interviews sharing personal stories and
  experiences of internment  camp survivors\, both before and after the Sec
 ond World War. A museum  educator will use these stories to facilitate cla
 ssroom discussions and  student engagement\, alongside historic photograph
 s and museum artifacts.  These hands-on\, multimedia workshops can be cust
 omized to meet the  needs of students and teachers.\n &nbsp\;\n Building o
 n its reputation for offering educational programs and  exhibitions that i
 llustrate and celebrate Japanese Canadian culture in  British Columbia and
  throughout Canada\, the Nikkei National Museum &amp\;  Cultural Centre is
  excited to showcase the <strong>Taiken Outreach Program</strong> .  The m
 ain goals are to support educators who teach contemporary issues  such as 
 human rights\, citizenship and democracy in Canada\; and to open  the eyes
  and hearts of students to the fact that\, as citizens\, they have  a role
  and can make positive change.\n &nbsp\;\n &ldquo\;The lived experience he
 ld in the memories of our Elders is precious  information.&nbsp\; As our E
 lders are aging\, we want to make sure that their  stories and experiences
  are preserved\, and made accessible to future  generations\, &rdquo\; exp
 lains Beth Carter\, Director-Curator of the Nikkei  National Museum &amp\;
  Cultural Centre.\n &nbsp\;\n <strong>On November 9\, 2014 from 2pm to 4pm
  at the Nikkei Centre\, we  will host a public screening of video intervie
 ws of internment camp  survivors. Free and open to the public. </strong> \
 n &nbsp\;\n <strong>This project was made possible with support from the T
 elus  Community Fund\, MetroVancouver\, the Government of BC\, and the BC 
 Arts  Council.</strong>
