Reports

【Reflection】
This program highlighted the importance of dialogue in advancing DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) amidst global backlash. "Inclusion x Academia" showcased university initiatives, emphasizing the value of student-faculty discussions. "Inclusion x Technology" explored technology's role in communication, disability support, and AI bias, offering new perspectives. The diverse audience, from students to corporate officers, deepened their understanding of DE&I through valuable discussions, recognizing biases and gaining insights.

【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Through dialogue among diverse individuals, this program fostered new perspectives and solutions for DE&I. Future efforts aim to deepen these initiatives through continued discussion, transcending organizational boundaries to share best practices. Encouraging open communication and expanding DE&I training within organizations is crucial. By adapting to evolving social conditions and incorporating new ideas, this program can drive lasting, positive change towards a society that values diversity.
