Each person’s desire to “give it a try” will take a step forward if someone says, “Let’s give it a try. The “Time to have a go” encourages such a feeling.
For this first session, we will invite “Neko no Yarikata,” a circle of three people specializing in different fields who bring their own problems to the meeting.

Profile of group “having a go”｜Neko no yarikata
Nekonoyarikata is an informal group formed in early summer 2021 to exchange and discuss problems. It comprises curator and Fan Fan director Akira Aoki; Makoto Gotoh, who assists arts and culture organizations in matters of accounting and administration; and Kazue Nakata who is involved in editorial department management for media companies and public relations for organizations. Nekonoyarikata all started with the three getting together to share the slew of problems that were causing them headaches, such as frequent onsite issues and communication with team members, at a time when each had become a leader in their respective(small) organizations. Functioning something like a mutual aid society, and engaging in something like club activities, this relaxed and informal group shares concerns, consults each other/others, studies, goes on trips, holds consultations, etc.
