We are building a Shien Community for a Filipino School Project in Japan…
PILOT RUN – Filipino International Weekend School
with Shien Mothers Club
”COME AND JOIN US AND DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE FOR A BRIGHTER FUTURE AHEAD FOR OUR CHILDREN IN JAPAN…
”Filipino International Weekend School (FIWS) is a FREE weekend bicultural school project for all Japanese-Filipino children in Tokyo and its main targets are:* To raise consciousness to Japanese-Filipino children and parents that there is Japanese-Filipino Identity and to help them build up its advantages;* To impart learning of English and Filipino as second languages of Japanese-Filipino children;* To provide a learning experience of Filipino values and cultural heritage of the PhilippinesThis project was made possible by OFW Shien Cooperative
(http://ofwshien.wordpress.com )
and it is being held at Meguro Catholic Church every Sunday, 2-4PM.
The program is more of an experience for JFCs to play because “play is the work of children” and this was once said by Jean Piaget, a psychologist. It is in this activity when children learn how to do things, how to make things work and how to manage their own worlds. In this line, we incorporate the appreciation of a bicultural heritage and the advantage of having a Japanese-Filipino identity.
This project will be launched after getting a sufficient no. of participants from all age groups:
Group 1: 3yrs old and below
Group 2: 4-7yrs old
Group 3: 8-11yrs old
Group 4: 12yrs old and above
Schedule is 2-4PM on a Sunday at Meguro Catholic Church. This is located at:
3 minutes from West Exit of Meguro Stn (JR Yamanote-line, Tokyu meguro-line, Tokyo Metro Namboku-line or Mita-line). Parking space for 20 vehicles.
