Workshop Collection to Be Held in Fukuoka and Shizuoka!

The Workshop Collection will be held in Fukuoka and Shizuoka.
(Shizuoka: February 16–17; Fukuoka: March 9–10)

I met GooDay President Yanase at Workshop Collection 10, held at Aoyama Gakuin University in 2014, and
launched Workshop Collection in Fukuoka in 2016.
Attendance in Fukuoka has grown year by year, with 24,000 people participating last year—the event’s third iteration.
It took six years for the Tokyo event to surpass 20,000 attendees (*^^*)
As promised at last year’s event, thanks to the efforts of Mr. Niitsu, Director of General Affairs at Kyushu University, this year’s event will be held at Kyushu University.
Special classes for children taught by Kyushu University professors are also planned!
Details were announced at last week’s press conference at Kyushu University.
