The text of Hanabi and this site were developed as a result of a grant awarded to the Asialink Centre at The University of Melbourne under the Japanese Government's 1996-7 'Assistance to Peace and Friendship Exchange Program'. The main aim of this program is to promote friendship and peace through a better understanding of Japan, particularly among the world's youth.
The Asia Education Foundation managed the development of Hanabi, which is published by Curriculum Corporation as part of the 'Access Asia' series.
The Asia Education Foundation
The Asia Education Foundation is a joint activity of Curriculum Corporation and The University of Melbourne's Asialink Centre and is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Education, Science and Training. It seeks to promote teaching and learning about Asia in Australian schools.
Professional Development Program
Short professional development workshops are available to teachers in each State and Territory to provide assistance in using Hanabi. Further information can be obtained from the Asia Education Foundation http://www.asiaeducation.edu.au/public_html/state_territory_program.htm
