[The Content of the Conference]
Culture is an essential part of each country, region, and race. With recently growing economic globalization, the importance of mutual understanding between different cultures with respect has been rapidly increased. Particularly in Southeast Asian countries, which consist of multiple races, it is fundamental to mutually understand the diverse culture in order to encourage a positive interchange on the community level.
For many years in Japan, it is the corporations who have been promoting arts and culture, supporting multifarious cultures in different regions, and contributing to the international exchange through arts and culture. Japanese corporations have developed their own philanthropic methodologies by making great uses of their own business and management resources, and continued to promote the solutions to various social issues. These creative and unique activities, distinctive of private sectors, are more flexible than any cultural promotion policies lead by the national and local governments, and play the important roles of promoting the diversity and initiative of arts and culture. In the globalization of the market, it is a major responsibility for Japanese corporations to offer their knowledge, skills and methods for cultural promotion they have cultivated, as well as to achieve a global expansion of corporate philanthropy.
This conference introduces a wide range of corporate philanthropic initiatives in Japan, and at the same time, it opens to the discussion in relation to the role of corporations in order to promote a social creation through arts and culture. Furthermore, this conference encourages a positive network spanning the entire ASEAN, aiming to establish a cultural promotion platform through constitutive exchanges and interactive projects through arts and culture; ‘KMK ASEAN’.
