Workshop Facilitator Training

Workshop facilitator training for all Yoshimoto comedians based in the Tohoku region. I’m so happy that 20 of you joined us (*^^*)
We’ve collaborated with Yoshimoto Kogyo in various ways in the past, but the reason we’ve been working together so closely since last year is that
Yoshimoto Kogyo has a strong interest in social initiatives—such as regional revitalization, overseas expansion, and SDG initiatives—that leverage its 6,000 comedians, and they have a particularly strong commitment to education.
I also felt that the comedians’ high level of creativity and communication skills are a perfect fit for CANVAS’s activities.
So, while an explanation of the content might be necessary, I feel like we probably don’t need to provide facilitation training for professionals…
Moving forward, we plan to collaborate with comedians living in communities across the country to bring workshops to every corner of Japan.
I’m really looking forward to it!
