Hong Kong LIFE and ____ (14:00 – 15:30)

Starting from last year, Hong Kong has become a place of protest, but Hong Kong is not just about protests. To Japanese who have ever lived in Hong Kong, what does the word “Hong Kong” mean to them? Hongkongers’ daily has a rudimentary change after the start of Anti-Extradition Bill Movement, whilst protest activity and mindset are deeply blended to their blood. Hongkongers adapt, and change the form of protest from time to time. On the other hand, Hongkongers are also getting pessimistic towards the future of their hometown . For Japanese who lived in Hong Kong during the chaotic time, what is their observation and does it affect their view on Japanese society?

Hong Kong LIVE and ____ (15:45 – 17:15)

What’s the current situation in Hong Kong? Is the movement facing a bottleneck? What Hong Kong has shown to the world? How can we help away from Hong Kong? This session will give you the updates and thoughts.

Japan and ____ (17:30 – 19:00)

With several phenomenal political movements in recent years, Hong Kongers have gone through a process of political awakening. Today, our determination to democracy is rock hard. On the other hand, Japanese are still regarded as not sensitive towards social and political issues.  After going through the uneasy year of 2020, we can see the urgency to motivate our younger generation. Are there any insights we can take from Hong Kongers’ experience?
