Citizens Group “Asian“(ええじゃん)

Seminar

Problem-Solving for Living in Japan
We would like to enjoy lives with people from abroad living around us, helping each other on
day-to- day basis. It is often difficult to understand the way of life, culture, customs, laws, andinstitutions of Japan.

Although there are many helpful systems and professional agencies in Japan

if and when we are in trouble, often it is difficult for foreigners to get to them particularly withlanguage barrier.
As a citizens group called ”Asian” we have long been engaged in free-consultation work for
non-Japanese speakers, and have decided to hold a series of seminars once a month under adifferent topic each time. We have chosen cases of troubles that many foreigners experience inJapan and will invite a person with expertise in the related topic, will discuss the issue in groups todeepen the understanding of the problem and will have time for individual consultation. Our
method is not the Japanese teaching foreigners Japanese ways, but rather through discussion bothJapanese and foreigners will deepen understanding of each other and build a friendly community
enriched by different cultures and through cooperation. We’ll be open to the participants’ opinions
to better the contents of the seminar.
