Workshop for Women's Global Success in 2016

We encourage you to come and join the "Workshop for Women's Global Success," organized by the Global Human Resource Development Center (Note: Lectures will be given in Japanese).

What should the Japanese female students do to achieve global success?  
    It has been long since the term "globalization" came to be used in Japanese society. Borders are getting vague as the times go, the internationalization of economic activities progresses, and there is a need for global human resources in professional world. We believe that female students can contribute to these processes, and thus are required to demonstrate creativity and expertise of their own fields in their global career development after graduation.
    However, female students in Japan are doubly handicapped. First, the progress of women's participation in the society has been slow in Japan, while promoting diversity and gender equality has been emphasized by the government. Additionally, female-friendly environments in companies are not yet firmly established. Second, in this difficult situation that nests in Japan, it may not be easy for women to find role models. In such a society, what should the Japanese female students wishing to be active in the global context do? What would they be able to?
    These workshops will present speakers in various fields who can become role models for female students. We hope that students will be able to receive advice, wisdom, and empowerment from these speakers.

 Everyone is welcome. No prior application necessary. 100 first-come, first-served registration.
 Six workshops are scheduled throughout the year.
 The current schedules are as follows.

News anchor

★ Content: "The moments I saw my way
~ Be hard on yourself and it will give you a chance ~"

I received little education in Japan and I wonder why for 23 years I have been able to continue as a TV news anchor here. The size of the opportunity given to you is beyond your grasp; Before you prepare anything, the chance suddenly comes. But you can overcome failures and setbacks while young, if you have the courage to step on; Even a complex become a force. Reflecting continued challenges to the news anchor as a career from the era I could not see my way, I want to think about what is currently required for women to be active in the society.

People who get respected abroad are those who have pride in their history, tradition and culture, and can talk about it. While living in Thailand, I noticed Japan's beauty and why the Japanese do not see it well. I will talk about them in this workshop: In the absence of the winter, national identity will change?, What are the samurai spirit and Japanese commercial morals evaluated in the world?, The superhero of Thailand, i.e., the King of Thailand, and the Emperor of Japan –what is the root cause of the difference? and so on. Have fun!

Date and Time     Friday, Dec 16, 2016, 17:00 to 18:30
Venue    Room 124, Main Building 1st Floor
             Ochanomizu University
Language    Japanese
Lecturer    Mitsuko Nishikawa

Secretary, Embassy of Qatar in Tokyo, Japan

★ Content: "To live with your own mind"

"A career as an interpreter seems to fit you well": Ms. Nishikawa’s career started with the words of her mentor. At the outset, Ms. Nishikawa felt the role as obligation, but it gradually made her core and what she is. With that core, she now calls herself "a marginal man in Japan.”

In this workshop, we would like to think about what it means through career "to live with your own mind," from a viewpoint of a life of a Japanese woman.
