Poster<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the past decade, the Asian and Pacific Region has made great progress in improving the UN SDG’s 4th Goal of quality education for all.\u00a0<\/span>This success does not happen overnight; it requires partnerships with various organizations and government support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now the ICC is honored to invite Mr. Hiroshi Tanikawa, the Chairman of the Asian Education and Friendship Association (AEFA), who has devoted himself to funding and, most importantly, sustaining over 300 schools in many Asian countries, as a guest to give an online talk session on <\/span>Zoom.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Mr. Tanikawa took his belief in giving back to society and started his second life as a provider of educational facilities.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>Starting from scratch, he ventured alone into the mountains of South East Asia. Not only did he build <\/span>schools<\/span> but he also engaged local community organizations to make them sustainable.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>In order to bring together people with a diverse range of backgrounds and values, Mr. Tanikawa had to overcome multiple challenges including cultural and language barriers.<\/span>
\n<\/span>To gain people’s trust and cooperation, what were the most effective ways to communicate?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>If you are someone who is interested in working at the international level or in the educational support system in developing countries,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>this is the best chance for you to hear from a person with real <\/span>front line<\/span> experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
