A series of workshops held in English and Japanese at Okayama Art Festival, an after school club in Nishiawakura and Kyoto Institute of Technology

As our environments become more multicultural, they bring about new social challenges such as stereotyping and exclusion. Learning knowledge, skills and attitudes to navigate these encounters hopes to contribute towards more respectful social interactions. 

Through a values-led design approach, the project hoped to raise awareness of intercultural competences and uncover how creativity might be the tool to forge connection across cultures and create new forms of communication through play and design.
