"The Art of Communication" Seminar Held in Iwaki City

On September 16th, a seminar titled "The Art of Effective Communication" was held in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, organized by the Iwaki Liaison Council for Supporting 3.11 Disaster Victims (Minpuku), a specified non-profit organization. Forty participants from 25 groups, primarily based in Iwaki City but also from Tomioka Town, Tamura City, and Naraha Town within the same prefecture, attended. These groups are engaged in disaster victim support and regional revitalization efforts.

Each group created handwritten boards to convey their activities. They also gave presentations.

 

"Communication Skills" is a social contribution program provided by Dentsu Inc. for the past 10 years, aimed at strengthening the organizational foundations of NPOs. Instructors, primarily Dentsu Inc.'s creative staff, teach the techniques NPOs need to effectively communicate and gain understanding of their activities as part of their public relations efforts.

Following a basic lecture, the seminar featured group work to build practical skills. One participant shared, "The workshop deepened my understanding of the lecture content. I want to apply the importance of considering the audience I'm trying to reach to my future activities."

Sachiko Nishihashi, Executive Creative Director at Dentsu Inc. (pictured left), who served as an instructor, commented, "Everyone's activities were diverse, and I gained deep insight into the disaster relief efforts and regional revitalization initiatives in Iwaki City."
