SDGs Online Roundtable (6th)] (2021.6.24)

On Thursday, June 24, we held the 6th SDGs Online Roundtable Discussion. With Mr. So　Eisei, the owner of Roshoki in Nankinmachi, Kobe, known as the original pork buns, as the guest speaker, 22 participants thought about the SDGs.
Mr. So talked about the importance of the three qualities of a leader: creativity, action, and a sense of responsibility, and the importance of glocal leaders understanding that there are diverse ideas (understanding of diversity and globalization). Roshoki’s business itself is an SDGs business, and it is a business that is friendly to people and the environment, rather than a business that chooses to make a lot of money. It is relatively easy to reduce the size of events at the Corona disaster site depending on the situation. The key to sustaining volunteer activities is to feel that the activities are beneficial to you. At the time of the Great Hanshin Earthquake, Yokohama Chinatown held the Chinese New Year Festival as a charity event to repay the debt of gratitude for the Great Kanto Earthquake that happened to his parents’ generation. He told us that the common denominator of successful people is that they are attentive people, and that in the end it is important to have a sense of duty and humanity.(In Japanese, we call it as Giri and Ninjyo) It was a meaningful discussion with various comments and opinions from the participants, such as the importance of “food” in terms of “world peace” and the desire to live locally with a global perspective. Thank you very much, Mr. SO and everyone who participated.
