• Kansai Events • Foreign women discuss holidays, homesickness
The Osaka Gender Equality Foundation is inviting English-speaking non-Japanese women to its monthly discussion meeting from noon to 2 p.m. Dec. 16 at Osaka Prefectural Women’s Center, or Dawn Center, in Chuo Ward, Osaka.
The discussion group will focus on common problems facing foreign women, including those pertaining to cultural differences, employment and child care. Participants will be encouraged to exchange information and experiences.
This month’s topic is how to cope with “holiday shock” and homesickness. Almost every religion and culture has important family-oriented celebrations in this season. Whether you are at home or in Japan, the holidays can be a particularly stressful time. Participants will discuss strategies to maintain inner calmness and a jolly holiday spirit despite the stress.
The discussion will be facilitated by psychotherapist Joanna Sato.
Participation is free. No reservation is required.
To get to the venue, walk 350 meters east from Tenmabashi Station on the Keihan or Tanimachi subway lines.
For more information, call the organizer at (06) 6910-8588.
