Based on their
experiences of overcoming environmental difficulties and carving out their own futures, they delved deeply into resilience and creativity. In addition, Kinuyo Morinaka (HelloWorld Co., Ltd., Machinaka Study Abroad Coordinator), a graduate of the project “Know The World,” which was launched to solve the social issues of child poverty and experience disparity in Okinawa, where Awich is from, also
participated, and a cross-talk was held from various perspectives. The panelists focused on turning points that shift perspectives to a positive direction, the importance of self-understanding and self-acceptance, and discussed ways to overcome adversity and shine, sharing personal experiences about what we can do now to ensure a bright future for all.

It is important to always be prepared to accept them, and whether or not you see the opportunity as a chance will change the turning point for that person. When you feel that you are in adversity, instead of feeling sad or regretful compared to others, try to think that you have experienced more than others. I believe that the fact that you have overcome adversity will become your power someday.” Awich Image

When I faced those things, reading books and listening to stories of people who had overcome difficult experiences helped me to realize that I was not alone. I think it is important for me to show others how I have overcome things from now on. And just as people who have experienced things have taught me that “things will be what they will be,” I want to convey that “Overall, it’s okay, things will work out.” ” Mieko Kawakami Finally, each artist shared their thoughts on how their work and methods of expression affect themselves and others, and what they value in order to convey “voiceless voices.” They then delivered heartfelt messages to those in the midst of adversity. Details of the sessions in the “WA” space during the Osaka-Kansai Expo will be released on the website in due course, and anyone who has made a reservation to visit can participate.
