Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar：

My passion for education increases every time that my peers and I exchange innovative ideas to improve teacher’s performance and student’s learning. Before attending the seminar, my Angolan side was attracted by Professor Ogawa’s bibliography, for his range of texts not only related to Asian countries but also African education and culture aspects. In the seminar, students connect to each other, other cultures, concepts and “explore” their competencies.
