Virtual Visits
Connect with JANM Virtually
Virtual visits use video conferencing technology to engage visitors and students in conversations surrounding JANM’s collections. These visits offer a new way to make sure that the important lessons of history are not forgotten.
Virtual visits must be booked a minimum of three weeks in advance. Virtual visits for grades 4–12 require pre-work with suggested time spent on the content in advance of the facilitated live experience. Pre-visit curriculum is vital in ensuring that the live video-conferencing session is spent on meaningful dialogue. Pre-work is designed to be completed either independently by students, or as a teacher-led lesson. Completion of a facilitated virtual visit reserved via the Education Unit is required in order to book a Q&A session with a first-person survivor of incarceration.
Higher education and adult groups can also book a virtual visit in English or Japanese. The presentations explore the Japanese American experience from the 1860s through the post-war era and can be tailored to particular areas of interest for students, seniors, and other groups. Companies can book a virtual visit for multicultural awareness or as part of their diversity and inclusion training.
