Announcement Regarding the “Online Workshop Caravan”

As the first installment of the “Workshop Caravan” project—which aims to expand opportunities for children to play and learn throughout Japan—we will be holding an online Workshop Caravan.

This time, we’re hosting an event featuring a collection of free online workshops centered around three themes: “STEAM,” “Physical Expression,” and “Community Engagement.”

We plan to offer a wide variety of activities, including programming workshops that are perfect for beginners, workshops on creating music using robot toys, and fun sports activities unique to the online format. Additionally, under the theme of “Community Exchange,” we will collaborate with comedians from Yoshimoto Kogyo’s “Sumimasu” program to host a diverse range of online workshops, including virtual tours that connect not only Japan but also other Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam.

There is no participation fee. Registration is now open!
