MONJU NO CHIE (\u6587\u6b8a\u306e\u77e5\u6075)
\nWe originally started this online event series as a Q&A with Experts for Interpreters and Translators (\u901a\u8a33\u8005\u30fb\u7ffb\u8a33\u8005\u304a\u60a9\u307f\u76f8\u8ac7\u5ba4). We renamed the series to JLD Monju no Chie (JLD\u6587\u6b8a\u306e\u77e5\u6075) after careful consideration of what we want this series to be. The new name comes from a common Japanese saying \u201c\u4e09\u4eba\u5bc4\u308c\u3070\u6587\u6b8a\u306e\u77e5\u6075\u201d which translates to “Out of the counsel of three comes wisdom” or more colloquially, “Two heads are better than one”. While webinars are presented in the lecture-style, one-way communication, the Monju no Chie series is meant to be a forum for convivial interactive communication. Attendees can seek advice and suggestions not only from panelists but also from other attendees. Besides the panel discussion style, this series’ session can be a round table discussion or even a study session.<\/p>\n

COFFEE HOUR
\nNo agenda, just some light-hearted and open conversation with JLD colleagues. Members can talk about topics or sessions they would like to see, ask questions about JLD, or even talk about their pets. It is a time for making connections and staying connected.<\/p>\n
