Investment in and modernization of education and growing female empowerment stand out of these. Taiwan is more international than its Asian neighbor countries. International in the sense of multiculturalism, not only because of indigenous communities and minorities, but also because of the relatively great number of mixed marriages, and the influx of workers from countries of East Asia. And most importantly, international in the sense of the mindset of its people. In Taiwan, women’s liberation and gender equality evolved hand-in-hand with political liberation from autocracy to democracy, and human rights movements. These movements exerted a cross-fertilizing influence on one another and hence proved to be very powerful.

The focus of the conference is Japanese education and childhood research. This topic is getting more and more popular amongst university students and children in Hungary. To get know this region better, we researchers decided to organize such a scientific gathering. We sent our call for papers to all Education and Japanology focused doctoral schools throughout the country, searching for researchers with similar interests. The aim of the conference is to build a bridge between these two disciplines, Education Sciences and Japanology, to start a discussion about Japanese Education. We do hope you will enjoy our joint efforts and reading our abstracts! Orsolya Endrődy-Nagy, PhD, the president of the Organizing Committee
