The East Asia Inclusive Network marked its 5^th anniversary. This year’s workshop was held in Taipei (for the second time), where we focused on topics such as socially disadvantaged communities and housing/welfare/employment issues of vulnerable populations. To grapple with these issues, we promote active exchange between scholars and professionals/volunteers.

Each Sub-center (Hong Kong SAR, Osaka and South Korea) introduced 3 to 6 people to join this workshop (for the host city Taipei, the number of participants is flexible).

This workshop was conducted in Japanese, Korean and Chinese via consecutive interpretation.
