Aichi University of Education (1 Hirosawa, Igaya-cho, Kariya; President: Ken'ichi Tahara) is holding courses in cooperation with Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. (headquarters: 1 Higashi-shinmachi, Higashi-ku, Nagoya; President: Fumio Kawaguchi).

These courses give students from Aichi University of Education the opportunity to learn through hands-on training as they earn course credits by leading children's workshops* at Chubu Electric Power's Electricity Museum (2-2-5 Sakae, Naka-ku, Nagoya). The courses are developed under the guidance of a Aichi University of Education faculty.

This is the first time Aichi University of Education has provided students in its educator-development programs with the opportunity to earn course credits through hands-on training at a corporate museum.

Through this program, the Aichi University of Education seeks to develop a corps of active, appealing educators capable of responding appropriately to societal changes through interactions with children and society.

Through this joint project with a local university, Chubu Electric Power hopes to contribute to both local education and service.

This joint project meets the needs of both institutions: It allows students to earn full course credits as they learn how to teach issues related to energy and science through the Electricity Museum's workshops*.

* Workshops: classes where students take part in experiments, hands-on tasks, etc.
