The whole world remembers the 3.11 March 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan.<\/p>\n

Japanese participatory media research group MELL Platz is conducting a public research seminar on 10 December 2011 at the Tohoku University in Sendai<\/a>, in the area which was so badly affected by the tragic events.<\/p>\n

It’s called “Designing A New Media Forest of Japan: From Civic Generated Narratives and Memories of Post 3.11<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n

The event begins with a workshop for participants to share their narratives and memories of the 3.11 east Japan great disaster.
\nThis is followed by a panel discussion about the future media ecosystem (the Media Forest) of Japan after 3.11.<\/p>\n

On the platform will be Kenji Kai (Sendai Mediateque)<\/a>, Martin Fackler (New York Times)<\/a>, Shin Mizukoshi (Univ. of Tokyo). <\/a>Chairing the session will be Kuniko Sakata (Tohoku Univ.) <\/a>and Kiyoko Toriumi (Univ. of Tokyo).<\/a>
\nThere’s more information on the MELL Platz website<\/a>.
