A Discussion on Neurodiversity

A Discussion on Neurodiversity @ Snack Nanako.

A group size typical of a snack bar—taking our time and delving deep.

I've finally learned how to run a "snack bar" at a scale that feels just right (*^^*)

The topics for this session are the “Inclusive Education Working Group” and the “Neurocity Working Group,” both of which are set to be launched soon.

How should we change education?

How can we build cities and societies that recognize the uniqueness of each individual?

With a drink in hand, we discussed all sorts of things.

In addition, there are several other working groups that will be formed in the near future.

We'll open Snack Nanako again for each theme, and

I want to plan for the future—casually, but deeply!

*And Mr. Morishita gave me a bottle of “Mitsui no Kotobuki Junmai Ginjo”!

It is said that the name "Hisashi Mitsui" from *Slam Dunk* comes from the fact that the author, Takehiko Inoue, was fond of the sake brand "Mitsui no Kotobuki."
