Hi Everyone,
(Please excuse any cross-postings) This is a reminder that the Israeli Origami Center will be holding its 7th International Origami convention, 18-20 December, this year in a purpose-built conference center in the forested hills west of Jerusalem. Our honoured guests are Prof Jun Mitani and Herman Mariano. We are currently re-vamping our site, so a booking form is available only in Hebrew, not, as yet, in English. Any English-speakers wishing to come should please contact us by email and we will forward booking and accommodation details to you. Overseas visitors do not pay a convention fee. site: www.origami.co.il email: [email protected] On 21st December, Prof Mitani will participate in an 'Origami and Math' day in the Tel Aviv area, with 120 math teachers from Elementary Schools throughout Israel, organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Education. On the 23rd, he will give two presentations in the Tel Aviv area at 2 Universities, on the relationship between his work and design/engineering. Overseas visitors are welcome to attend all these events, without charge. Bethlehem is open to Christian pilgrims over Christmas and is, of course, a visit is not-to-be-missed. This year, the Jewish festival of Chanukah falls at the same time. If you ever needed a reason to visit Israel, this has to be the perfect time! :-) We are happy to answer questions and look forward to welcoming you to our 7th convention.
