～The Promotion of Diversity～

What is Discussion Café?

In July 2013, TMDU and Waseda University signed an agreement with the primary goal of cooperating to cultivate future global leaders. This will be the seventh gathering of "Discussion Café" under this cooperation.

DCafé provides a rich environment for discussion in English of current controversial topics with students from various backgrounds. This is a fantastic opportunity to network with students in various fields of study from Japan and other countries and practice expressing your opinions in English!

Discussion Topic

Since the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan has proposed the importance of diversity for cultivating human resources, attention to the topic is growing. Many companies, universities and institutes have established programs or departments for promoting diversity. Mass media has also discussed the challenges related to accepting diversity in our society, while some suggest that diversity in Japan is a concept that only concerns a small group of people. Nevertheless, in any society, it is important for us to respect differences while fostering our ability to cooperate for the betterment of society.

This discussion will focus on “diversity” in a broad sense. Topic 1 will deal with defining diversity through considering what kinds of diversities we encounter in daily life. Topic 2 will consider the challenges and rewards that come from promoting diversity around the world.
