      <description>This year, we will invite three foreign residents living in Tokushima as guest speakers. They will share their experiences and perspectives on child-rearing and education in Japan, as well as differences in religion, culture, and customs—things that many of us Japanese may not know or realize.
After the presentations, we will hold an exchange session with all participants. Let’s enjoy talking together as members of the same Tokushima community.
