Our preliminary schedule requires you to arrive in Japan on or before 13th February 2026 and our last session will be held at a a school on 21st Feb (see above). We expect the fee for participating to be around £300 – this is primarily associated with simultaneous translation costs, headset hire and small fees for attending some large-scale lesson study events. You will be required to pay for flights, accommodation, meals etc. from your own sources. We will block book accommodation in a simple hotel in a suitable location but you will need to settle the bill for your room yourself. There is the possibility that we will relocate to Osaka for part of the trip.
