Announcement of termination of Let’s Talk Program

Due to the spread of the COVID-19, The Sapporo International Communication Plaza has come to the decision to cancel the Let's Talk program, which is currently suspended.

Because of the nature of the program being that of a large number of people gathered and speaking in an enclosed space, therefore making it difficult to take preventative measures against the “3 C’s” (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings) as described in the “New Lifestyle” advocated by the government, as well as there being no signs of the spread of infection being completely halted, we have decided to cancel the program. We came to this decision after careful consideration, giving priority to the health and safety of all participants, as well as considering what services we could provide moving forward. We would like to thank you for your understanding. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who has participated in the Let's Talk Program over the years, and we hope that the Sapporo International Communication Plaza will be able to continue to hold seminars and events that allow the public to participate in a safe environment while striving to implement this “new lifestyle”.
