SUMMARY:Asia Focus Day for Senior School Students
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Society for Asian Affairs is working with the support of the Confucius Institute for Scotland in the University of Edinburgh, and with backing from the Scottish Government, to offer a free day long Asia focused programme for senior school students on Tuesday 3 October 2017. \nSchools across Scotland are invited to register their interest in sending or bringing S4, S5 and S6 students to discover more about Asia as they move towards planning their longer term future. Travel bursaries are available to low-income schools and students.\nThe aim is to introduce students to subjects and concepts they may not have previously explored and which will, we hope, inspire them. The conference is open to all in the 15-18 age-group. Those interested in pursuing geography, law, religion, international affairs, social sciences or Asian language pathways may find it particularly relevant.\nThis is the second such event in Scotland, building on the inaugural event in October 2015.  It will be held at the South Hall complex- pictured above- in Pollock Halls, University of Edinburgh.\nPROGRAMME OUTLINE SCHOOLS DAY 3 OCTOBER 2017 10.00-15.00\nCurrently confirmed speakers for this full day programme are:-\n\nDr Alasdair Allan, MSP, Scottish Minister for International Development\nJames Brodie, Scotland Manager, China Britain Business Council\nMr Daisuke Matsunaga, Consul-General of Japan in Edinburgh\nMs Sophie Ibbotson, Adventurer, Travel Writer, and Entrepreneur\nDr Claire Watson, Research Fellow in Primatology, Kyoto University, Japan\nAll attendees will have the chance to take part in a introductory language session choosing from Chinese, Hindi or Japanese.\n\nRefreshments and lunch are included.\nTravel bursaries are available to low-income schools and students.\nTo enquire or register interest on behalf of your school please take one of the following actions\nEmail: Shaun McPhee shaunmcphee@rsaa.org.uk\nCall  :  Shaun McPhee Mobile  07913 34 66 11\nVisit:    Royal Society of Asian Affairs Lectures & Events page.\n
