Lecture by Yasushi Kitagawa, jointly sponsored by the Ieitameen Alumni Association and Kansai International University: ``One book can change your life - What we want from teachers now.''

An encounter with a book can change your life.I want as many people as possible to have that experience.

This time's theme book is "Sobani Iruyo".The main character hates studying and only cares about what others think of him.Through his encounter with Yuji, a robot created by her father, he grows into a new person.I hope that her lecture and theme book will give you a sense of the "I" and "kindness" that we want to foster with children, even during the coronavirus pandemic.
