Outline
This workshop explores books that (1) support leadership development and (2) enhance insights into future society, in a study group style. Using the unique reading method called Active Book Dialogue, participants will engage in focused reading and rich discussion in a short time. For students seeking to improve language proficiency, joining sessions in the language they wish to practice also provides valuable training opportunities.
In addition, because Book Dialogue involves sharing and discussing summaries prepared by participants, even those unfamiliar with dialogue-style workshops have reported that it is easier to contribute—participants feel they always have material to draw on and can speak with confidence.
-Main content:
1. Divide the book among participants and summarize key points
2. Relay presentations to capture the whole picture
3. Dialogue to engage with others’ perspectives
