About this episode

🇯🇵🇫🇷🇰🇷🇬🇧 This month’s guest on The Big Blend is Yoshito, a French and Japanese dad, who works a lot on transmitting literacy.


With Yoshito, we talked about: 

  • Lack of literacy creating a gap between a person and their culture
  • Being at peace with all our cultures and understanding what we want from them
  • The importance of relevance and play in transmission
  • The parental posture when teaching a heritage culture
  • A few home-made game ideas to transmit literacy


Happy blending!🥣
