On-line workshop (110 minutes) LiDi SiG: Diversity grassroots activities to promote leadership more
Sat, Nov 27, 09:50-11:00 Asia/Tokyo
This year's Living Within Diversity (LiDI) SiG will be a workshop that introduces grassroots leadership concepts and activities by a grassroots group that promotes diversity and leadership, TABUNKO. Lisa Rogers will introduce the role of gender in leadership. Women tend to create networks and assert collaborative leadership. This allows them to maintain independence and focus on various women’s issues while collaborating to leverage group efforts in working together to exchange information and work towards managing a wide variety of women’s issues at the same time. Michi Saki & Elisabeth Williams created one such group, TABUNKO, to focus on women’s, family’s and ethnic group issues. TABUNKO is a grassroots group created by foreign women, for families of all ethnicities and diverse backgrounds who live multiculturally in Japan. The purpose of the group is to provide support and resources, as well as provide a safe & comfortable space for these families to gather and exchange information with one another 公益財団法人 京都市国際交流協会(kokoka)の支援を受けて、TABUNKOという草の根グループを作りました。 「多文化共生+子供育て= TABUNKOという名をつけました」 TABUNKOは、外国人女性によって作られた、日本で多文化に暮らすあらゆる民族と多様な背景を持つ家族のためのグループです。このグループの目的は、家族への支援と情報を提供すること。そして、情報交換ができる、誰でも気楽に行ける居場所を提供することです。 TABUNKO is: -A group that offers information exchange opportunities, workshops and events for all families who are wishing to raise their families multicultural regardless of ethnic background 多文化な背景を持つことに関わらず、多文化社会の中で子育てについて関心のなる人のためのワークショップ、イベントなどを開催するグループ -Supports and connects multicultural families 多文化な背景を持つ家族と支援団体の間の懸け橋になること - Provides a space for multicultural families to meet, connect and share experiences and information多様な文化的の背景をもつ家族のための居場所作り
