The Study Meeting of Pathways, Toastmasters International New Education Program, was held at Cocco Terrace Shonan on August 25.
Seventeen members participated. 
                    
Some of them brought their personal computers with them.

Pathways had rolled out worldwide successively since last year, and in Japan (District 76) started on May 4 this year.
Many years have passed since the current program was established. But it hasn’t been much updated since 1970s.

Pathways is a modernized learning experience suited to the changing global society. It offers members more benefits and more opportunities to learn, grow and meet personal and professional goals.
The big difference between Pathways and the current program is the online access to educational materials in Pathways compared to the use of paper materials in the current program.

Therefore, some skill to operate PC (online) is required to access Pathways. Since there are some members who are not used to operating PC (online) or don’t have enough information to access, Pathways勉強会 was planned.
VPE TM L. Chen successfully instructed the participating members mainly the first steps to get into Pathways, how to select the Path (Educational Course) and how to start on the Path including Q&A by showing the materials on the screen.
After that, they watched the video of Pathways Online Seminar carried out by District 76 staff members.

The attendees seemed to get rid of allergies to Pathways and positively proceed to the first project “Ice Breaker”.
