Pecha Kucha Presentation

The Japanese has different concepts of life. In Ikigai (reason of being), it's about the purpose of living. In Wabi-Sabi (embracing imperfections), it's a world view dedicated to acceptance. And now, there is even a concept in presentation! 

My first encounter of Pecha Kucha (chit-chat in Japanese) style presentation was an event at Japan Creative Centre in Singapore. I didn't know then there was such a thing but the simple presentation was very captivating and held everyone's attention throughout. It is a presentation format which shows 20 chosen images, each for 20 seconds, designed to be completed in 6 minutes 40 seconds. 

As teachers, we conduct multi-modal presentations to our target audience. What we do depends on the availability of our resources, knowledge and judgement. While not all teachers in the world would have access to school wifi, working laptops, visualisers or document camera, we just have to be creative and learn to navigate restrictions. 

Let me interest you with a photo of two pigeons that is unrelated to this post :D
