This project is a study group for adults called “Otonachounakai” that explores the educational and inclusive power of art and culture, with the goal of “nurturing children’s zest and space for living.”
Based at Shibuya Ward Childcare Neuvola “co Shibuya”, people with various backgrounds such as childcare/education, welfare/medical care, art/design, etc. create rich learning for children while facing questions from a variety of instructors. We engaged in repeated dialogue and collaboration to achieve this goal. As a result, we have developed three programs for “co Shibuya”, users: “Let’s touch it’, “　”Give it a name”, and “Let’s create a story”.
Through the implementation of the program, we examined the essence and significance of learning while closely following the children’s activities, and shared this information at the implementation report meeting. The process of a project that connects adult learning to children’s learning has been compiled into “Recipes for Learning through Art and Culture.”
