◆Co-Creative Dialogue (CCD)

The theoretical base of CCD, Co-Creative-Dialogue, is “On Dialogue” of David Bohm. Its activities are to be carried out according to the following steps.

① Participants’ drawing pictures metaphorically and making stories behind the pictures to express their own ideas

② Free dialogue among participants based on those pictures and stories

③ Participants’ obtaining hidden awareness of themselves

In order to further develop CCD activities, a monthly ZOOM dialogue meeting has been held among CCD members starting from January 2022, focusing on the urgent issue of “declining birthrate and aging population”.

◆Contrast Culture Method (CCM)

CCM is an experiential intercultural training method developed in the 1960s by Dr. Edward Stewart. The method uses a role play of real-life situations, which is subsequently discussed and analyzed in depth. CCM is useful for raising participants’ awareness of cultural values and behavior which “contrasts” with their own. Participants often gain more insights about their own culture.
