[Susaki, Kochi x Miharu, Fukushima] Diversity, IT, Developmental Care... Reiwa Moms Are Too Busy! Two Distant Regions Connect Online for a Parenting Roundtable on Saturday, May 9

Lien, a comprehensive facility for women based in Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture, will host an online roundtable titled 'Diversity, IT, Developmental Care... Reiwa Moms Are Too Busy! ~1 Hour of Discussing Parenting Tips While Laughing~' on Saturday, May 9, 2026, welcoming Ai Hashimoto, a childcare worker from Miharu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, as a guest.

Background: The Wave of 'Updates' Cornering Reiwa Moms

Modern mothers are being forced to adapt to more 'new values' than ever before.

'Understanding diversity for gender equality,' 'Rapidly advancing IT education,' 'Developmental care tailored to individual characteristics'.... These are all important, but the exhaustion of moms struggling to do all this 'correctly' while being chased by daily chores and work has reached its limit.

This event connects two distant regions, Kochi and Fukushima, online to provide a space for 'empathy' and 'sharing wisdom' that transcends regional boundaries.

Highlights of the Event

Unique Collaboration: Lien, which supports women's activities in Susaki City, Kochi Prefecture, teams up with a childcare worker challenging to create a 'playground for children' in Miharu Town, Fukushima Prefecture.

Tackling Pressing Themes: We will cheerfully laugh and talk about topics that parents often carry in isolation, such as how to deal with 'diversity' and 'IT' without sugarcoating, and 'developmental care.'

Participatory Community: This is not a one-way lecture, but a two-way roundtable where participants can interact honestly through chat and dialogue, asking, 'How are things at your place?'
