The retreat program this year will be held in Izukogen on February 20 (Sat) and 21(Sun). We will have three wonderful presenters at the seminar. On the first day, Prof. Shoko Araki (Obirin University) will introduce Albatross, an intercultural simulation. With the simulation experience, we will discuss how we can develop communication skills to understand different cultural values and to create better interpersonal relationship. We will also have a presentation by Dr. Kyoko Morita (Rikkyo University) will follow to share her recent research on minority education in contemporary Japan. She will talk about the findings from her ethnographic research on Brazilian students in a public elementary school in Nagano, as well as a research method, urban ethnography, that she used in the study.

On the second day, Mr. Chad Stewart (Intercultural Communication Institute) will conduct a workshop on Intercultural Effectiveness Scale, an assessment which was developed by ICI and Kozai Group. Each participant will have an opportunity to take the actual assessment, and we will learn how to actually use it in the classroom or in the business field through this practical workshop.
