Traditions Ambassador Traditions International Educational System
|
||
| The Traditions Ambassador program started several years ago in Japan. There was a need to train additional teachers in the program but the difficulty and expenses in bringing an HA to Japan made education very difficult. DecoArt and Traditions joined together to create a position to help the education of teachers about products and techniques. These Ambassadors travel their country educating teachers but do not participate in the formation of the education program. These Ambassadors are essential for the educational growth of our artistic community. | ||
