Notice Regarding the Postponement and Online Format of the Workshop Collection

The Workshop Collection, which was scheduled to take place at iU on March 21 and 22, will now be held online with significant changes to the planned program, as we have prioritized the health and safety of our participants. We have decided to postpone the event as originally planned. We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to it!

The collection of online workshops currently under consideration ranges from videos that make learning fun just by watching, to physical expression, crafts, English,science—as well as special workshops led by Yoshimoto comedians serving as guest instructors, and lessons for elementary school students taught by comedians active in various fields. We plan to offer a wide variety of programs that families with children—from preschoolers to elementary school students—can enjoy from home while interacting with instructors online.

Although the preparation period is short, we will do our best to provide a space for play and learning for children who are spending time at home.
The event will be streamed on the Workshop Collection 2020 website. We will provide an update once the details of the event overview have been finalized.
