Background

About Giulia Fiore

Graduated in Cultural Anthropology, Ethnology and Anthropological Linguistics at Ca' Foscari University of Venice in October 2023. During my university studies I spent a period of about 7 months at the prestigious Waseda University of Tokyo as a winner of the Overseas Program. While enrolled into Waseda's GSICCS (Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies), I conducted field research for my Master's thesis "Learning to drink, becoming a social adult. The space of sociality reinvented in work-drinking parties (nomikai) in a post-pandemic Tokyo". I have always been passionate about Japanese culture and traditions and had the opportunity to be involved in the temporary exhibition "Japanese Tales", dedicated to the theatrical art of nō, working as a guide and content creator. The desire to share insights of Japan and its culture and society in a genuine but profound way, free of stereotypes with a particular consideration for people's voices and experiences has led me to become part of various Japan-related organizations such as Gesshin (Association of Japanese students of Ca' Foscari), for which I have organized events, written, curated social media and managed contacts with speakers from all over the world. Since September 2022 I have been living in Tokyo, where I am now working as a Travel Consultant.
