Global Listening Project

Japan’s collectivistic approach to society enabled its citizens to “pull together” through the COVID pandemic - but has it become complacent in the face of future crises? Ben caught up with Heidi Larson, the co-founder of the Global Listening Project in Tokyo, as she shared initial learnings from the Project’s 70 country opinion research study into societal preparedness with experts, as well as leading Japanese virologist Professor Hitoshi Oshitani, and Moderna’s Dr Rachel Dawson to explore just how far the country’s COVID response provides important lessons for the next crisis.
