Next GenerationS Dialogue

Next GenerationS Dialogues (NGSD) is a project that bridges real conversations between diverse generations through teaching, inspiring, and enlightening each other by sharing each other’s philosophy, thoughts, and lives. We aspire to empower this opportunity to ‘Manabi-Au’ (Learn from each other) and gain appreciation to further contribute to an inclusive sustainable society.

Next GenerationS Dialogues (NGSD) は、多様な世代がお互いの哲学、思考、人生を共有し、教え、刺激し、啓発することによって、真の対話の架け橋となるプロジェクトである。私たちは、「まなびあう」機会を提供し、「感謝」することで、包括的で持続可能な社会の実現に貢献したいと願っています。

Next GenerationS Dialogues since November 2021.

Our Purpose

As global citizens, we need a deeper understanding of each other. To do so, we want to build a platform for bridging our gaps by sharing each other’s philosophies, thoughts, and lives. We will provide an empowering opportunity that can inspire us to ‘Manabi-Au’ (Learn from each other), and gain appreciation.
Our Objectives

To create a platform to provide a safe and welcoming place of opportunity, inclusivity, and awareness.
To invite guests to share their experiences, ideas, stories, and visions as we discuss our thoughts and influence positive transformations.
To bridge cultural and intergenerational gaps through conversations between various groups as we discuss our role to play towards an inclusive sustainable future.
Our Goal

Bridging dialogues between diverse generationS through teaching, inspiring, and enlightening each other further on contributing to society; learning from mistakes, understanding the thinking behind ideas, decisions, and actions.
Our Values

Inclusivity: Embracing uniqueness and providing sense of belongingness
Compassion: Treat our diverse community with love and respect
Awareness: Cross our gaps by learning from each other.
