Abstract：
With the rapid advance of globalization in recent years in a variety of fields, the trends towards facilitating division of people have become prominent, as witnessed in the increasing popularity of terms like “national particularism”, “anti-immigrant sentiment”, “hate speech”. How can we talk about the meaning and the value of coexistence in such an era? Starting with this question, we would like to exchange information on living situations and specific efforts towards coexistence made in various parts of the world, as well as various ideas grown therein, and would like you to think together with us about how the modern world should look like.
