CONCEPT

Our dream and our goal will be the day comes when we don’t have to use the word ”Inclusion” That is where all people are included to the society, live equally and no one is left behind as it is said in SDGs. That becomes as a matter of course.

However the reality is on the way to achieve this dream. To realize “inclusion” and “diversity” in a real sense, it is necessary to have step by step exercise and effort in each society. This Symposium is designed to exchange the experience we all strive everyday for realizing “Inclusion” and “Diversity”.

We would also like to discuss about the people outside of social inclusion. We also hope that the symposium will open to everybody not only the specialists but to the general public to actually feel and experience “Inclusion” and “Diversity”.

COMPOSITION

The symposium consists of two parts. Part I is about Arts Inclusion and Diversity. How the Arts empower people.   Part II is about of Networking and link up of SAORI weaving . We pick up SAORI as a good example of Inclusion.

We also present music performance from Japan (Express Diversity Concert), Presentation of visual arts & SAORI Fashion Show.
