Online Discussion in English

Topics
We discuss social issues occurring in Japan and around the world.

Participants
High school students from Japan, Canada, the U.S., college student in Japan.

Why?
　Listening to rap music made me want to learn about minorities. Since I knew my grandfather dealt with *buraku-min issues in Nagano, I interviewed him about the reality of them. During the interview, we came to a conclusion that more people must know about what is happening. That is why I started this program.  I believe that knowing about social issues is the first step of solving them. I intend to inform more people, including myself, about social issues in Japan and around the world. 
　In addition, classes at my school do not have opportunities for discussion. Therefore, I wanted to practice conveying my ideas and absorbing other's opinions. I decided to do it in English in order to improve my own and the participants English ability.
　

*buraku-min are a group of people in Japan that have been treated unequally
