“Knowing each other, knowing yourself” (First half: 2/13, 20,27)
You will use a variety of ways to introduce yourself and hold discussions, and take a closer look at your own interests with all the other members.

“Thinking more deeply and just experimenting” (Second half: 3/6, 13, 20)
Based on awareness gleaned from the first three sessions, we individually decide on a theme, and each member develops projects in the form of presentations, discussions, workshops etc. It may be possible to collaborate on projects rather than carry them out individually.

Q1: Do I have to participate in every session?
A1: As there is a scheduled flow in place for all six sessions, you may not be able to fully enjoy the project if you miss a lot of sessions, but we will try and make up for absences as much as we can. If you are concerned that you may miss sessions, please consult us first.

Q2: Can I take part if I live outside Sumida-ku?
A2: Of course. We are holding this Fan Fan Club online so people who live far away are also welcome to join.

Q3: Can we choose any theme or method we want to develop further through Fan Fan Club?
A3: In principle participants can decide for themselves. However ideally, we would like you to get together with other members of Fan Fan club to talk over and think about which themes and methods to choose.

Q4: What sort of activities were involved in the first term of the project?
A4: For example, in response to a member who said they didn’t feel attached to the place where they lived and wanted to know what attachment meant for the other members, we put forward things we were attached to and together discussed the meaning of attachment. Another time, under the guidance of a members who would stand somewhere every day in his neighborhood and write things, each member stood somewhere in their neighborhood and talked about their impressions with the others. Also, in line with a proposal by a member interested in picture books we challenged ourselves to making various picture books ourselves…in all these activities we placed value on just going ahead and trying something if someone came up with something they wanted to try.
We will continue this basic approach in terms of the new recruitment period and hope we can create a forum for participating members to try out the things they want to do.

Q5: Will activities be held online only?
A5: All sessions during this round of recruitment will be conducted online. Participants will enjoy thinking not only about what to talk about, but also how to talk in the online environment.
