Although the hot weather continues, we can occasionally feel a breeze that hints at autumn.

The “Learning of Tomorrow in Fukuoka” event was held on the 31st of last month.
As the first regional expansion of the Learning of Tomorrow’s initiatives,
it served as a rallying event to promote the development of human resources who will spearhead the future “Fukuoka Model” through the introduction of and proposals regarding initiatives by educational institutions and private sector organizations involved in IT, technology, and education in Fukuoka. It was a very lively gathering.

Next month, we will hold the DiTT Symposium “Education × Copyright System 2018.”
We hope you will all join us.

Once again, in addition to reporting on DiTT’s activities,
we will provide the latest information on ICT education.
