助産師協会のシンポジウムで、講演をさせていただいた。
会場は横浜、私はニューヨーク。
よって深夜１時からのオンラインウェビナー。
夜中前に一度眠気に襲われたけれど、自分の番が来るまでどうにか堪えた。
ウェビナーの問題は、画面の向こうで聴いている方々の様子が見えないこと。
誕生した命を最初に取り上げる助産師さんたちが、どんな表情で聴いてくださっているのか。
どんな反応があったか分からないけれど、何か伝わるものがあったら良いなと願う。
この機会をくださった関係者の皆様に感謝。
I had the opportunity to give a presentation at a symposium hosted by the Midwives Association.
The venue was in Yokohama, and I was in New York.
So, it was an online webinar starting at 1:00 a.m.
I felt a wave of sleepiness hit me just before midnight, but I managed to stay awake until it was my turn.
The problem with webinars is that you can’t see the expressions of the people listening on the other side of the screen.
I wonder what kind of expressions the midwives—who are the first to deliver newborns—had on their faces as they listened.
I don’t know what kind of reaction there was, but I hope that something of what I shared came across.
I’d like to thank everyone involved for giving me this opportunity.
