Hiroko Ohta
Thursday, November 10 from 16:20 in Room 6206
ちょうど私が北九州へ移り住んだ今から25年ほど前、日本は国際化の流れの中にありました。外国人留学生の数がだんだん増え、北九州で快適な生活を留学生たちに送ってもらえるようにとインフラ整備が進みつつありました。私はフランスで生活した経験があり、当時フランス人に大変助けられたので何かできることがあればしてみたいと思っていました。
ちょうど折しも、北九州市が国際ボランティア養成講座を開講しました。それが私のボランティア活動への出発の第一歩となりました。私のボランティア活動をお分かちし、またその活動がどういう形で私の私生活またひいては仕事のキャリアに及んでいったかをお話ししたいと思います。ボランティア活動はきっとあなたの輝かしい未来へのカギとなることと確信しています。
