[April 17th Guide Preview] Before English, there is something we must consider. Mixed-race, overseas relocation, study abroad: where does a child's 'sense of belonging' lie?

Hello.
NEXT2035 Editorial Department here.

Overseas education, English education, career choices.
In this age of information overload, have you ever felt this kind of confusion?

・English proficiency—is that all it takes?
・Will going abroad really expandoptions?
・Will this choice truly expandthe child's future?

Before considering the answers to those, there is
one perspective that cannot be overlooked.

What to consider before English

That is,

'Where can that child belong?'

—this perspective.

When it comes to global education,
we tend to focus solely on the 'environment'.

✅ Which country to go to
✅ Which school to enter
✅ English proficiency level

However, what children actually face is a more fundamental question.

'Where can this child be themselves?'

Expanding possibilities and the 'instability' that arises simultaneously

Mixed-race, overseas relocation, study abroad.

At first glance, these are choices that expand possibilities.
However, at the same time, this kind of 'instability' also arises.

This'instability of belonging' affects a child's heart and life more than you might imagine.

The theme of this guide

Date: April 17, 2026 (Fri) 21:00–22:00 (JST)
*Please note that the start time is different from usual.

Theme:
'Mixed-race, overseas relocation, study abroad: A child's identity'

Guest:
Sagiri Ochi (Living in Spain / Sex Coach)

While raising a Japanese-Spanish mixed-race child in Spain,
she is practicing real-life parenting within a cross-cultural environment.
She also appeared as a speaker in the 15th session of our second free online seminar for parents and children✨

On the day,

will be shared as real-world experiences.

The essence of this session

👉 Education is not about "choosing an environment" but "designing a sense of belonging"

It is not about where they learn, but
where they can "put down roots."

If you proceed without thinking about this,

👉 The risk of creating a "child who can return nowhere"

can also become a reality.

The value of real-time participation

Michishirube is
not just a seminar to listen to.

Those who participate in real-time
can ask questions directly on the spot.

・Things you are currently struggling with
・Consultations tailored to your family's situation
・Cases for each individual child

The more you are struggling, the more value there is in this.

💡Recommended for those who:

・Are considering overseas relocation or studying abroad
・Are thinking about an international school
・Have anxieties about raising mixed-race or returnee children
・Want to think about their child's "place to belong"

🎤We will answer questions like these on the day (Real-time participants only)

“My child is half-hearted in both Japanese and English. Is it okay to send them abroad as they are?”

'My mixed-race child says they don't belong anywhere. How should I, as a parent, engage with them?'

'My child attends an international school, but can we keep the option of returning to Japan open?'

'My child isn't adjusting to the local environment. I'm torn between changing their environment or waiting a little longer.'

'What exactly is the 'identity design' that should be addressed before English proficiency?'

'To what extent should parents intervene, and at what point should we leave it to the child?'

'How can we create a 'sense of belonging' at home?'
