【タイトル】Fair dinkum, Dinky die, true blue Aussie.
【スピーカー】Mayumi Parrett
【概要】Fair dinkum. Dinky die. True blue. These three adjectives all have the same meaning here in Australia. I have been living in Australia for about a year and a half now. Even though this is not my first time in Australia (I did a working holiday for one year and also stayed here for four months while on childcare leave with my first child.) I still find myself coming across many new things and differences in the life here compared with Japan. I will talk about my life in Australia so far and also the habits, customs and culture that I find so interesting. I will also share some of my experiences with Australian English.

【タイトル】Kimono Reborn: A Passion Project for Reviving Tradition
【スピーカー】Kim Marie Machholz, an educator and head of the International Department at Kobe Ryukoku High School, is also a representative of the Kansai Canadian Association and a passionate advocate for kimono recycling.
【概要】Do you have a passion project? I do, and it’s connected to the beautiful Japanese kimono. I adore everything about kimonos, from the intricate silk details to the craftsmanship of the obi and accessories. However, the tradition of wearing kimonos is slowly fading, leaving many garments unworn, sometimes given away, or worse, discarded. While I hope the tradition of wearing kimonos will be revived someday, I am passionate about giving these beautiful garments new life by repurposing the materials in various ways, allowing people not only in Japan but also abroad to appreciate the magnificent kimono in new forms.
