説明

<p>The theme of the 2008 annual research project of the Intercultural Education Society in Japan was “how to build a tabunka-kyosei (multicultural coexistence) society”. Three proposed approaches were derived from the following three research fields; policy-making, curriculum design, and the daily interaction between minority children and Japanese children. However, some difficulties were encountered during this project.</p><p>The 2009 annual research theme was planned to resolve these problems to some extent. The following four main issues were presented and discussed. The first was the issue of contrasting attempts to establish a systematic approach in policy or curriculum development but neglecting to understand the very diverse voices or requests from each minority group. The second issue pertained to the gap between the so-called new-comers and the old-comers within the Japanese context. One presenter proposed the importance of continuity between these two groups of people and this view was widely shared by the participants in the symposium. The third issue of concern was how to communicate with people who are disinterested in these issues because they have scarcely encountered, in their daily lives, other people from any minority group. Some solutions were discussed for these people. The last topic was that we must learn from the various experiences and struggles experienced by other countries. As an example, the case of Canada and its unique approach, from the era of the emergence of multiculturalism to recent citizenship education, was introduced and this gave us useful insights.</p><p>These discussions were not able to solve all of the problems discussed. Nonetheless we learned that we must continue to investigate the critical aspects of the notion and the reality of tabunka-kyosei but, at the same time, we should approach these issues strategically, so that we regard as important not only the differences but also integration within this society.</p>
