Venue: ZOOM Online Webinar

THIS WEBINAR WILL BE HELD IN JAPANESE

There is an Italian saying, "traduttore, traditore” (translator, betrayer). Machine translation services, including major free translation services, have seen remarkable technological advances in recent years, but if you do not use them correctly, you won't get your point across...
We introduce the knowledge we have as a translation company for effectively using machine translation, which is used on a daily basis to interact with foreigners, using ways that may seem obvious but are often overlooked.
By understanding the nuances that machine translation often overlooks, you can make up for machine translation’s shortcomings when using it.
Please join us.

Venue: Family Economy Week website

Family Economy Week is back for its second edition - and now for the first time also in Japan. The great “contaminated” digital event, which represents a real hub of economic-financial education.

Now more than ever there is a need to awaken a new consciousness among people, so that they can make informed and reasoned choices for their own future and the one of their children.

For this reason, we want to make FEW the catalyst for the best ideas in the economic, financial, cultural, social and entrepreneurial fields to instill in our country and beyond an authentic wave of change. The energy of a new economy that focuses on three fundamental concepts: People, Planet and Innovation. This is the foundations for imagining and building the sustainable future that we all want, a new world in which people and the well-being of the planet go hand in hand with the advantages of digital and technological evolution.

The energy of FEW, in this new edition, crosses national borders to spread into FEW International. Japan, Australia, Finland, Greece, Italy and Spain are the main character of a solid international network, created to spread global economic-financial awareness.
