A pattern is a design with shapes or lines that repeat again and again. In this class we will be using watercolor paints to create a background and then using pens to draw interesting patterns on top.

The class will be taught in English.

"TSVP Teatime": informal discussions and getting to know each other, now in the Visiting Program (TSVP) office area in Lab 5 EF03

We will discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plans for Okinawa, focusing on the partnership system that recognizes sexual minority couples as equivalent to married ones. In February 2024, Okinawa Prefecture announced that the issuance of certificates to publicly certify a couple's relationship, currently limited to residents of Naha and Urasoe cities, will soon be expanded to all areas of the prefecture. The public services provided based on the certificates will be left to the judgment of each municipality and private company. However, the details of the system, including the contact point for issuing the certificates, are still under consideration. The panelists will address the current issues being faced.
