“Kodomochounaikai” is a workshop program that children’s design teams create festivals. The theme for 2019 was the “DESIGN-PIC”, thinking about the power of design beyond the limits and boundaries that exist in individuals and society. Twenty-four children aged 5 to 12 were selected as members of the design team and participated in the workshop for half a year.
Children met diversity through fashion design as self-expression. Children learned the joy and difficulty of collaborating through architecture and town design.
Children experienced the power of design that connects people and the world through dance and music.
Their activities have created the Kodomochounaikai Festival 2019 “DESIGN-PIC”. It became a playground / learning place of the design for many children and their families.

During the summer vacation, we invited the “Mirai-Gengo Team” to create an encounter between the challenge of “disability” and children. Children collaborate with people with disabilities and supporters to create “theme parks that can be enjoyed with the five senses” such as “invisible maze”, “Decoding games in sign language” and “riddle riddles with pictures”. They invented a play and method that everyone can enjoy together.
