SUMMARY:Sat. June 15: Vital Japan「Diversity and Inclusion - 日本が多様性を包み込む社会になるには何が必要か？ 」◆英語セミナー
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 15\, 2019 : 6:30-9:15pm\n2019年6月15日(土) 6:30-9:15pm 【飯田橋-Iidabashi\, Tokyo】\n ◆Topic「Diversity and Inclusion – 日本が多様性を包み込む社会になるには何が必要か？ 」\n“What are the obstacles to Japan becoming a truly diverse and inclusive country?”\n◆Speaker: バイエ・マクニールさん Baye McNeil\, Author / Columnist / Social Commentator / Activist\n※使用言語： 英語のみ    Session language: English\n*English Announcement\n\n\n\n◆日時：2019年6月15日(土) 6:30-9:15pm (開場 6:00pm)\n終了後、立食形式のNetworking Party\n◆会場：東京しごとセンター B2F 講堂\n東京都千代田区飯田橋　3-10-3\n◆交通：飯田橋駅より徒歩7分、九段下駅より徒歩10分\n　地図 \n◆参加費：1\,000円\n◆定員：200人 \n◆参加申込フォーム　参加受付中！\n\n◆勉強会の流れ\n  -6:30pm Networking time\n6:30pm: Opening\n6:45pm-: Workshop by the Speaker\n9:15pm Session end\n(9:30pm- Networking Party at a casual Italian restaurant) \n◆使用言語： 英語のみ \n６月のVital Japanでは、New York出身の黒人作家であるバイエ・マクニールさんをスピーカーにお迎えし、日本社会における “Diversity” と “Inclusion”について考えます。 \nマクニールさんは、Japan Timesのコラムやその著書で知られ、日本において人種差別問題の批評家としても活動されています。\nテレビタレントの黒塗りメイクが人種差別的であると米New York Times、英BBC等の海外メディアがこぞって取り上げるニュース（”Blackface in Japan controversy” ）がありましたが、マクニールさんはそのきっかけを作った方でもあります。\n●wikipedia: Baye McNeil参照 \n国際基準において、日本が多様性と包括を重視した社会といえるのか？\nもしそうでないのであれば、どうしてゆくことが必要なのか、具体的な事例をご紹介いただきながら問題提起いただき、参加者と共にディスカッションしてゆきます。 \nグループディスカッションなどを交えながらのインタラクティブなセッション。使用言語は英語のみです。セッション、そしてその後のNetworkingともども参加者での交流も楽しみましょう！ \n※このイベントは、Vital Japan monthly sessionです。Vital English-英語勉強会とは異なりますので、初めての方は参加要件をご確認のご参加ください。（英語の勉強会ではありません。） \n  \nOver the past few years\, there have been a growing number of incidents that have garnered local and international attention regarding Japan and its views and treatment (intentional and otherwise) of non-Japanese residents and biracial citizens. \nIncidents with racial overtones that have made it glaringly obvious to the global community that while Japan may not be a racist/xenophobic/deplorably insensitive country\, it certainly has a lot of work to do to prevent that labeling moving forward. \nDue to its reputation for being a safe and “homogeneous” country replete with polite and welcoming people\, Japan still garners the benefit of the doubt. But these incidents\, though often superficial\, are problematic and symptomatic of some deep-seated issues that require the country’s full-attention to remedy. \n▼Speakerのご紹介\nBaye McNeil\, Author / Columnist / Social Commentator / Activist\nBaye is from Brooklyn NY and has lived in Japan since 2004. He is the author of two critically-acclaimed books on life in Japan: “Hi! My Name is Loco and I am a Racist” and “Loco in Yokohama”. His monthly column\, “Black Eye”\, for The Japan Times\, raises awareness of issues related to “blackness” in Japan\, and profiles people of African descent from around the globe living in Japan . \nIn 2015\, Baye spearheaded a successful petition to protest the airing of a blackface minstrel show on Japanese TV\, and since has become the voice of people of African descent all over Asia. His writing and activism has garnered global attention\, and has been featured or discussed in The New York Times\, on\nBBC\, CNN\, Washington Post\, Wall Street Journal\, Huffington Post\, USA Today\, Yahoo! Japan News\, Associated Press\, Kyodo News\, Toyokeizai\, Nikkei Asian Review\, Asahi Shimbun\, Shukan Shincho etc. \nHe also conducts workshops and seminars at companies and universities across the country on race issues\, in his continuing effort to help Japan achieve its desired and inevitable goal of increased diversity and inclusiveness. Baye graduated from Long Island University with a BA in English and Communications. He lives in Yokohama. \n  \n*English Announcement \n\n\n\nVital Japan 176th Monthly Session – June 15\, 2019 (Saturday)\n*Topic “What are the obstacles to Japan becoming a truly diverse and inclusive country?”\n*Speaker: Baye McNeil\, Author / Columnist / Social Commentator / Activist\n*Session Language: English\n\n\n\n\n*When:  Saturday\, June 15\, 2019\n6:30-9:15pm (Doors open 6:00pm) Networking Party to follow \n*Place: Tokyo Shigoto Center – B2 Hall\n3-10-3 Iidabashi\, Chiyoda-ku\, Tokyo \n*Access: 7 minute walk from Iidabashi Station\n10 minute walk from Kudanshita Station\n*Map \n*Language: English \n*Cost: 1\,000yen \n*Sign Up Form  Sing Up Now!\n(Max 200 people)\n*Session Flow:\n  -6:30pm Networking time\n6:30pm: Opening\n6:45pm-: Workshop by the Speaker\n9:15pm Session end\n(9:30pm- Networking Party at a casual Italian restaurant) \n  \nPlease join us for an interactive workshop with Baye McNeil\, Author / Columnist/ Social Commentator / Activist.  You won’t want to miss this great opportunity to network while you explore how Japan can become a truly diverse and inclusive country. \nOver the past few years\, there have been a growing number of incidents that have garnered local and international attention regarding Japan and its views and treatment (intentional and otherwise) of non-Japanese residents and biracial citizens. \nIncidents with racial overtones that have made it glaringly obvious to the global community that while Japan may not be a racist/xenophobic/deplorably insensitive country\, it certainly has a lot of work to do to prevent that labeling moving forward. \nDue to its reputation for being a safe and “homogeneous” country replete with polite and welcoming people\, Japan still garners the benefit of the doubt.
