Workshop for Women's Global Success in 2015
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.

for those who are heading for the world”
Japanese food has been attracting attention from the world. But do we understand it and practice it correctly? In the basis of manners how you treat chopsticks, there is a mind Japanese people have valued from ancient times; There is a cooking method called "living/ fresh" recipes in Japan; We are technically supposed to eat Osechi dishes five times a year, not limited on New Year day. By being aware of the meal everyday and by reviewing it a little, you will lead to more understandings of the Japanese culture and will be able to tell it to the world. Practice the world healthiest diet of longevity and go aim becoming a healthy, active woman.

★ Content: "Girls, Be Curious!"
As a foreigner living in Tokyo, one of the questions I’m asked most often is ‘why Japan?’ My answer to this question is “I saw an advert in a newspaper”.
For, twelve years ago, while sitting in my mum and dad’s house in Dundee Scotland, having recently graduated from St. Andrews University with my masters degree in Mediaeval English and Scots, I really had no idea what I wanted to do. The advertisement asked: do you have a degree? Are you looking for adventure? Why not teach English in Japan? “Don’t be silly” said my mum, very nervously. Eight weeks later, I arrived in Kyushu to teach English in Japan - for one year!
Twelve years, lots of challenges, and too many “doshiyo?” days later, here I am at Ochanomizu Women’s University university, as the Executive Director of the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ), to talk about being a working woman in Japan. This is not always the easiest thing to be!
Throughout my career, the most valuable lesson I have learned - and the one I’d like to share with you today is: Girls, be curious!
