Japan Origami Academic Society (JOAS) have been holding regular meetings using the “Zoom” online conference system.
Attendance to the Online Meetings will be allowed only to those with the Online Meeting Passport.
About the Online Meetings
As part of COVID-19 transmission and protective measures, Japan Origami Academic Society (JOAS) have been holding regular meetings using the “Zoom” online conference system.
Regular meetings are mainly held by the Tokyo, Tokai, Kyushu, and Kansai local area groups (“Tomo-no-kai”), usually on a monthly to quarterly basis. In 2020 (April 2020 to March 2021), a total of 40 online meetings took place, including 12 in Tokyo, 11 in Tokai, 9 in Kyushu, 4 in Kansai, and 4 in Shizuoka.
At the regular meetings, in addition to the origami classes, we showcase new models created by the members and exchange general information among the 30 to 50 participants.
To participate, you will need a setup with “Zoom”. When using on a PC, participants must prepare their own camera and microphone.
