Japan-UK Dialogue: Understanding Hikikomori through Lived Experience & Research


The Event is hosted online via Zoom - register to received the link.

We are pleased to invite you to a special online dialogue event exploring the phenomenon of “Hikikomori” (prolonged social withdrawal/isolation) from both Japanese and UK perspectives. This event aims to bridge the gap between academic research and lived experience.
The session will feature presentations by researchers from both Japan and the UK, followed by personal stories from an individual with lived experience and a family member from Japan.
