The seminar featured Dr. Jaime Aristotle B. Alip, founder of CARD MRI, who has built a "Mutually Reinforcing Institute" consisting of 26 organizations in the Philippines and operates a microfinance business with 9.37 million members, and Ms. Sayaka Watanabe Kankologo, President of WELgee, who works towards creating "a society where we can build a future together with refugees" in Japan. Tetsuo Kato, author of "Henkyo kara Sekai wo Kaeru" (Changing the World from the Frontier) and president of the REEP Foundation, served as moderator.

Dr. Alip presented his efforts to eradicate poverty in the Philippines, while Ms. Watanabe introduced innovative approaches to supporting refugees rebuilding their lives in Japan. Through their dialogue, they engaged in deep discussions about new solutions to complex social issues such as poverty and refugee problems, as well as the importance of “ownership” by the poor and refugees in their activities, and “finance”, supporting socially and economically marginalized people.
