Learn How to Communicate! - MediR Classes Start in October in Full Scale



MediR, citizens’ media center, provisionally started in Takadanobaba, central Tokyo in June 2008 as a “new place to learn and transmit”. There have been five classes, such as a “You can also produce a short video” one, for three months since last June. MediR will start in full scale after October with the considerably larger number of classes. Those of the second half of financial year 2008 include a “class to think about society through films” hosted by Kinoshita Masaaki, film critic, and a “caricature workshop“. On September 27, the opening event was held with the slogan “Learn How to Communicate”. Images of the candle-lit demonstration joined by a million people were shown and a memorial symposium joined by Kim Myeong-jun, president of the Media Center in South Korea, was held during the event. All the classes are now available. MediR WEB site
