A nationwide workshop expo for children
“Workshop Collection” will now be held online!
The “Workshop Collection,” originally scheduled for March 21 and 22, has been postponed and will now be held online. Given the increasing number of reported COVID-19 cases, we have decided to prioritize the health and safety of our participants.
For the online event on March 21, we are planning a special live-streamed event featuring videos where you can learn while playing with comedians from across the country, as well as workshop videos on programming and crafts that you can enjoy at home!
Additionally, starting March 6, we’re streaming video programs from “Rough & Peace Mother”—a “play” and “learn” platform app with CANVAS providing supervision—as well as Yoshimoto Kogyo’s regional project, “Comedians Living Across Japan Teach! Comedy Hometown Lessons”!
Starting March 9, we plan to release video programs—including programming and crafts—that are fun to watch and play with while learning, all designed for enjoyment at home! Be sure to check them out!
