Dear supporters,
In April, we brought yet another workshop to Kumamoto City, this time taking the approach of diversity education through Q&A style discussions. Participants were asked to prepare questions (in advance) to ask a person they had never met. They were given some basic information about the person, such as their gender identity, race and age, and asked to prepare “expected answers” based off of the information they were given.
The children (aged 7 and 8) followed up with a super interesting discussion, and I was thoroughly impressed with their open minds, and ability to realize any unconcious bias that may have come into play!
We are also excited to announced our first "summer series" of workshops in Kyoto! The three sessions will be aimed at children aged 7 to 15 years old. This will be our first series of workshops, and we are hoping that children can gain a more in-depth learning experience, covering topics such as discrimination, bullying, conflict resolution, and how to be an active bystander.
As always, we appreciate your continued support, and are looking forward to updating you in the upcoming months!
