CANVAS Fellows Association BBQ @ Yoshimoto Kogyo

Today, after the “Rough & Peace Mother” meeting, we had a BBQ at Yoshimoto Kogyo that also served as a CANVAS Fellows gathering.
“Rough & Peace Mother,” the educational content platform that Yoshimoto Kogyo and NTT are rolling out globally, is all about “play and learning.” That’s CANVAS itself!
So, the purpose of today’s Fellows’ gathering was to connect the CANVAS community with the Mother team (*^^*)
　
Despite the short notice, 130 CANVAS Fellows joined us, and
seeds of new developments were sown everywhere. I’m so happy.
I was so busy connecting the Fellows—who have a wide variety of “play and learn” content, including videos, apps, and workshops—with the Mother team,
that I regret not being able to talk with everyone at length… I’m sorry…
I was also thrilled to see the entire founding team of the Workshop Collection in attendance!
Since I didn’t take any photos myself, I’ve taken the liberty of using some photos that were tagged with me. (Plus a few more)
Thank you to everyone who participated.
We’re about to embark on a new chapter, so please continue to support both CANVAS and Mother.
