Political Commitment
Freedom and Activism in Japan

What is the state of freedom in Japanese society today? What does the term “freedom” mean to her personally? Answers from Japanese activist Momoko Nojo, who is campaigning for greater political participation, especially among younger people in her home country. She is considered the voice of her generation and is active in many areas, such as gender justice and refugees, poverty and the effects of climate change.

We want to protect your privacy

A website that contains such buttons transmits personal data to the relevant social networks without your consent. You do not have to have pressed the button for this. This contradicts the German data protection regulations.
In order to protect your privacy, the Goethe-Institut uses a so-called 2-click solution. This is used in a similar form by numerous website operators and is very easy to use.

Recommend article on goethe.de

This is how the 2-click solution works: When you are on goethe.de, the recommendation function of the buttons is inactive by default. With just a few clicks you have the opportunity to change this:

1. With the first click an explanatory window opens.

2. With the second click you can give your consent for the recommendation function of the social networks to be activated.
