Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This workshop explores books that (1) support leadership development and (2) enhance insights into future society, in a study group style. Using the unique reading method called Active Book Dialogue<\/em>, participants will engage in focused reading and rich discussion in a short time. For students seeking to improve language proficiency, joining sessions in the language they wish to practice also provides valuable training opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, because Book Dialogue involves sharing and discussing summaries prepared by participants, even those unfamiliar with dialogue-style workshops have reported that it is easier to contribute\u2014participants feel they always have material to draw on and can speak with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
