Event Venue
Have you ever felt a sense of unease due to cultural differences when communicating with people who use different languages?
In this workshop, deaf people who use Japanese Sign Language and hearing people who use Japanese will work together to find answers to the "Why?" questions they have for each other. Through group discussions, we will explore what can be done to reduce these feelings of unease.
There will also be a Q&A session where observers can participate.
