Academyhills Library x JSIE Collaboration event
JSIE, in association with Academyhills Library, launched a new forum series “First Movers Forum” in 2017. We welcome globally-active first movers in various fields to participate as speakers/panelists and to share their trials, challenges and lessons.
We support individuals who have the courage to solve local/global challenges and to boldly move forward with actions on various fronts. By engaging in dialogue with inspiring individuals, we can gain insight into problem-solving, expand our realm of activities, and broaden our perspectives from local to regional and from regional to global.
At our 5th First Movers Forum, under the theme of “Creating New Social Standard,” we discussed passionate approaches in creating innovative social norm for next generations. We are experiencing rapidly changing societal norms along with technological development and globalization. Things that seemed to be promising in the past no longer valid today. Most needed is the ability to question existing framework and take action to introduce new societal standard. We have invited panelists who are directly involved in creating new societal standard for themselves and next generations.
