LIFE, LOVE,LD
- The creation of knowledge and nurturing one’s future through sharing feelings -

We have never experienced a global pandemic such as Covid-19-Wearing a mask whenever we go outside, keeping our distance from people, and always feeling anxious about something…

 I went to the suburbs the other day. When I arrived, I felt inadequate. Consequently, I took off my mask quietly in a deserted place and took a deep breath. The air I breathed was wonderful. It was then that I became aware that I had left the city and arrived at a place with good air.
 Although I could see the dark green trees and the blue sky, it was not enough for me. It was at this moment that I realized that the happiness and daily life that I had taken for granted was not as it appeared.

 We have become accustomed to hearing about new ways of living?
 It is not merely about avoiding three Cs (Closed spaces, Crowded and Close-contact settings) but also about changing our values. We need to think carefully about our own future as well as that of children and other individuals with whom we interact. Thus, we need not only to think about our lifestyle but also about the way we live. That is what life means.

 On the contrary, I think we have started to realize that life has become more difficult. We never know what will happen in the world. One may ask what is universal in the world. Although it may sound trite, I think it is love. Specifically, love encompasses caring for each other, being grateful that you are needed, and celebrating the fact that you can take the first step toward something.

 And finally, LD. This keyword by which we are all connected is very important.

 This may seem a little too original for the theme of a conference. However, in these unprecedented times, I would like to take the 30th conference to the next level, together with you, with life, love, and LD, without sticking to stereotypes.
