Events

‘Dialogue for the Future-Digital Aging and Active Aging’ Symposium in Bangkok
The Asia Social Integration Department aims to demonstrate alternative solutions to the issues of population aging, low birth rates, and associated challenges in a practical manner, believing that the experiences and lessons of Japan, which has undergone population-related challenges earlier than its neighbours, can provide useful reference points for other countries in Asia.
On 11th March 2019, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation co-organised a symposium in Bangkok entitled ‘Dialogue for the Future: Digital Aging and Active Aging’ along with the Japan Foundation Bangkok Japan Cultural Center, Thai Health Promotion Foundation, and Young Happy.
