Recruiting Participants for a Joint Project with the International Community! The theme is “Mapping the identity of Kashiwa-no-ha”

 

The Smart City For the People and by the People

Kashiwanoha Livin Lab is an initiative for co-creation of new projects centered around citizens in the city of Kashiwanoha Campus. This time, we will work together with the international community to find what makes Kashiwanoha Campus unique. It will be implemented from November 2021 to January 2022.

The Theme is Mapping the Identity of Kashiwanoha

This year, Kashiwanoha Campus is celebrating its 15 years and its population has reached 10,000 people. Kashiwa-no-ha Campus Town is now home to foreign and local students, workers, and elderly who have stories, experiences, memories, and lifestyles worth sharing. By collecting and visualizing these on a map, we can begin to reflect about what our community is like. Understanding this is important because we can learn about what is valuable to our town. We can then strengthen them and know what else is needed to improve the quality of life for our community.

 

We will hold workshops with international students from the University of Tokyo to list and visualize special places and stories in Kashiwa-no-ha. We will also interview and survey people in the neighborhood to design an exhibit. You can expect to gain interviewing technique, practice art skills, and use your creativity.
