CANVAS May 28 (Sun) Discussion: “‘New Futurology’: A New Form of Learning in Society Created Through Collaboration Among Industry, Government, Academia, and the Public”—Registration Now Open!
On Sunday, May 28, as part of the “STEAM KIDS” event, we will
host a
discussion titled “‘New Future Studies’: A New Form of Learning in Society Created Through Collaboration Among Industry, Government, Academia, and the Community.”
"New Futurology" is an initiative in which children—who will shape the society of tomorrow—work alongside adults to imagine and create a future without set
answers.
For this event, we’ve invited an expert in future planning from Ars Electronica to discuss how to create spaces for envisioning the future as we head toward the
upcoming Post-AI era. We look forward to your
registration!
*Hakuhodo and CANVAS look forward to collaborating with a wide range of companies in the future to develop educational programs and
organize and promote workshops and events.
We encourage companies, organizations, and individuals interested in participating in the fields of education and children’s programs to join us.
