#5 Study Sessions for Administrative Staff (English) : Overview of OIST organization, Questions and Discussion Speaker: Mizuki Shimanuki, Provost Office. Facilitator: Ayumi Nagai, C-Hub

If you facilitate events for diverse audiences, you may encounter unexpected situations that are difficult to navigate at the moment. Effective facilitation centers on what participants are doing and experiencing, setting the tone of the event, and tending to the group dynamics in the room. Inclusive facilitation is a leadership skill that requires self-awareness, observational skills, agility, and intention. Join this session to sharpen your leadership facilitation skill set in preparation for your next event. This workshop is intended for participants who have some prior facilitation experience. The workshop will be conducted in English by Kristin Macapagal, Program Director for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Pitch Contest open to all campus innovators—students, researchers, and staff—with ideas spanning startups, research themes, community events, and more. Winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris to attend the 2024 Hello Tomorrow Global Summit, renowned as the world’s premier tech and science conference.

Struggling with being "on" in the professional setting due to tragedy and grief in your personal life? Join this workshop to develop a personal action plan and practical toolkit for resilience in your daily professional setting after experiencing loss. This session is open to administrative staff, students, and researchers and is facilitated by Kristin Macapagal, Program Director for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Spots are limited to create a safe, respectful space for dialogue.

[With Simultaneous Interpretation 英語同時通訳あり]

人の身体には免疫力、抵抗力があり、病気や怪我から私たちを守ってくれます。

人のこころにも回復力が備わっていて、困難や絶望から私たちを救い出してくれます。

その力をレジリエンス（精神的回復力）と言います。人は苦しい時、困難から抜け出せないと諦めたときに、死を考えます。唯一の解決策だと思うからです。まやかしの解決で誘惑する死の幻影がちらつく前に、レジリエンスの引き出し方、活用の仕方を考えましょう。

対話をしながら進めていきます。私とあなた方の対話。そして話を聞きながら自分の心との対話。もし可能なら、お互い同士の対話もできたらいいですね。

The human body has immunity and resistance that protect us from illness and injury. The human mind also has the capacity to rescues us from difficulties and despair. This power is called resilience. When people are in pain, when they have given up, they think about death because they think it is the only solution. Before the vision of death flickers over us, tempting us with false solutions, let's think about how to draw out and use our resilience.

We will proceed with a dialogue. A dialogue between you and me. And as we listen to each other, have a dialogue with our own hearts.

Join us in taking action to raise awareness while creating hope. As we remember 21,881 people who lost their lives to suicide last year in Japan, we aim to walk 21,881 steps around the OIST campus.

However, walking isn’t the only option. Whether you’re cycling, swimming, dancing or meditating for 21,881 seconds – whatever you choose to do, it all matters and all are welcome! If you would like your steps/ seconds to be counted, please email Ganjuu so we may collate all our efforts together!

You can register for TELL Step Up Challenge via their website. There is a ¥1,500 sign-up fee, however this is not required to participate. ( https://www.tellevents.org/events/step-up-2023 ） The campaign aims to raise awareness of mental health issues.

去年、自殺で亡くなった21881名の命を覚え、自殺防止の支援と理解の拡充のため、 OIST のキャンパス内を21881歩、歩くことを目指します。

しかし、歩くこと以外にも、サイクリングや水泳、ダンス、21,881秒の瞑想など、どんなことでも大歓迎です。歩数や秒数のカウントをしてほしい方は、Ganjuuまでメールでご連絡ください。TELL のウェブサイトから登録することも可能ですが （ https://www.tellevents.org/events/step-up-2023 ） 1500 円の参加費がかかりますので、必須ではありません。

このキャンペーンは、メンタルヘルスに対する意識改革を促すことを目的としております。

We have biweekly open hours at OIST Innovation where you can come and talk with us about anything related to the Proof of Concept application process.

My research group has consistently published ~20 papers per year for 15 years, and most of these papers were published in the top 25% of journals (CiteScores) with an average citation of > 100. How did we manage to do this? There are several reasons. In this interactive talk session, I will share one core secret: how to write a lot and well. If you can do it, you are invincible in academia or elsewhere. But how do you do this? You should consider writing a review to transform you into an amazing writer.
