This program provides learning opportunities through contemporary art and conversations with artists to children who require social care or have limited learning opportunities due to poverty, disabilities, or other factors. The goal of the program is to encourage children’s creativity while broadening their horizons, as well as to create a society in which all individuals can envision a positive future for themselves. For a variety of reasons, approximately 46,000 children in Japan today either do not have a guardian or have a guardian whose care has been found inappropriate. In addition, the relative poverty rate is rising and approximately three million children, or one in six, now live below the poverty line. The declining academic performance and other disparities faced by children raised in difficult social environments such as these is a growing problem. By cooperating with human rights organizations, non-profits, and other groups with specialized knowledge of these issues, this program aims to expand the learning pathways open to such children, create opportunities for them to interact with adults with diverse knowledge and values, and provide an environment where they can develop the skills to understand their own situation and work toward solutions.
