EXPO2025 Theme Weeks

Programme details

Accepting diversity, being considerate of others, and understanding each other is considered to be of utmost importance for society’s future.
Among such trends, well-being based on altruistic human connection, which Japanese people have valued since ancient times, may play an important role.
In this program, together with experts, we will discuss how to incorporate personal well-being aimed at improving one's lifestyle and collective well-being obtained through human interaction into society.
To improve collective well-being and accept diversity, it is also necessary to promote diversity and inclusion (DEI). We will reflect on health and well-being from gender, global, and DEI perspectives and communicate it to the world.
